A fan-out wafer level package is provided with a semiconductor die embedded in a reconstituted wafer. A redistribution layer is positioned over the semiconductor die, and includes a land grid array on a face of the package. A copper heat spreader is formed in the redistribution layer over the die in a same layer as a plurality of electrical traces configured to couple circuit pads of the semiconductor die to respective contact lands of the land grid array. In operation, the heat spreader improves efficiency of heat transfer from the die to the circuit board.
