Abstract
An IC package that is suitable for surface mounting arrangements includes a heat spreader device that is coupled to a bottom portion of the package below the IC die. Coupling the heat spreader device to the bottom portion of the package reduces or eliminates the possibility that placement of the heat spreader device will result in the molding compound bleeding on top of the heat spreader device, and delamination at the footings of the heat spreader device that can cause the package to delaminate, or 'popcorn'.
