Abstract
A cavity-down ball grid array (CDBGA) semiconductor package with a heat spreader is provided, in which a substrate is formed with at least a ground ring, a plurality of ground vias, a ground layer, and at least an opening for receiving at least a chip. The substrate is mounted in a cavity of the heat spreader, and an electrically conductive adhesive is disposed between an inner wall of the cavity and edges of the substrate, so as to allow the ground layer and the ground ring exposed to the edges of the substrate to be electrically connected to the heat spreader by means of the electrically conductive adhesive. By the above arrangement with the heat spreader being included in a grounding circuit path of the chip, ground floatation and excess ground inductance and resistance can be prevented for the semiconductor package, thereby solving heat-dissipation, electromagnetic interference and crosstalk problems.
