Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a stiffener for use with and integrated circuit (IC). The stiffener can be attached to the IC, and can utilize a planar portion and one or more beam portions that project from the planar portion at a non-zero angle. The stiffener can alternatively include a frame formed of beam portions that are adjacent the sides of the IC. The stiffener can provide added stiffness to the IC package to resist warping of the IC during soldering.
