Abstract
This paper explores the effect of package geometry and material on the junction to ambient thermal resistance (θja) of plastic IC packages. Only internal package geometry changes are explored here for packages operating under still-air ambient conditions. Among the factors explored in this paper are drop-in heatspreaders, high thermal conductivity mold compounds and die-attach epoxies, as well as the effect of die-attach delamination. Forced convection and external heatsinks are not studied here as they can form an extensive topic of study on their own.
