Abstract: An injection molded aluminum nitride heatsink forms the substrate of an integral heatsink semiconductor package in which a semiconductor chip is attached directly to the integrated heatsink forming an intimate thermal relationship between the heat generating source and the heat dissipating means. In a first embodiment, a planar surface of the heatsink component provides the substrate for the attachment of a semiconductor chip and a multilayer housing formed from a plurality of layers of dielectric glass ceramic lamina and conductive circuit layers. The multilayer housing is formed on top of the heatsink substrate creating a recessed cavity in which the semiconductor die sits and is attached directly to the heatsink. The semiconductor chip is attached to the circuit layers of the housing through any of the known electrical connection methods, such as wirebonding or tab tape. A cover plate is mounted over the cavity.
