An integrated circuit (IC) package having a packaging substrate, an IC disposed onto the packaging substrate, and a rigid support member attached to the substrate layer through an adhesive spacer is provided. The packaging substrate includes multiple decoupling capacitors positioned thereon around the IC. A heat sink is placed over the IC. The rigid support member provides enhanced structural support for the IC packaging and there is ample space between a bottom surface of the rigid support member and the packaging substrate to allow the placement of the decoupling capacitors underneath the rigid support member.
