Abstract
In some embodiments, an integrated circuit package includes a substrate and a heat spreader coupled to the substrate by fasteners. Thermal interface material thermally couples the die to the heat spreader. The heat spreader is provided over the die and is attached to the substrate with fasteners rather than a sealant-adhesive. Some examples of suitable fasteners may include rivets, barbed connectors, and gripping clips.
