Abstract
Abstract A highly integrated semiconductor package having a light and compact construction and heat dissipating means suitable to effectively dissipate heat generated from the package during the operation of the package is disclosed. The semiconductor package has a lower heat sink for dissipating heat generated from a semiconductor chip of the package. The package also has a tape attached to the top of a plurality of inner leads of the package. The inner leads are attached to the top surface of the lower heat sink. The package further has a heat dissipating means for dissipating heat generated from the inner leads. The heat dissipating means has a heat bar attached to the tape. An upper heat sink may be integrated with the heat bar so as to form the heat dissipating means.
