PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE SHIELDING AND HEAT DISSIPATION IN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES

An integrated circuit assembly may be formed using a phase change material as an electromagnetic shield and as a heat dissipation mechanism for the integrated circuit assembly. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit assembly may comprise an integrated circuit package including a first substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, and at least one integrated circuit device having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the at least one integrated circuit device is electrically attached by the first surface thereof to the first surface of the first substrate; and a phase change material formed on the integrated circuit package.
