An integrated circuit package having an interposer with increased thermal conductivity and techniques for fabricating such an integrated circuit package are provided. One example integrated circuit package generally includes a package substrate, at least one semiconductor die disposed above the package substrate, and an interposer disposed above the at least one semiconductor die. The interposer includes a dielectric layer, and a metallic plate disposed adjacent to a first portion of the dielectric layer. The height of the metallic plate is greater than a height of the dielectric layer.
