Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to incorporating one or more antennas or inductor coils into a semi-conductor package. A heat spreader or metal sheet is embedded in the package and stamped or otherwise patterned into a spiral or serpentine form. The pattern enables the spreader to function as an inductor or antenna when connected to a semiconductor chip in communication with a printed circuit board.
