Abstract: A process of forming a multi-layer electronic composite structure. The process includes providing at least one core including at least one plane of at least one electrically conducting material with a plane of at least one electrically insulating material on both sides of the at least one plane of at least one electrically conducting material. The at least one core includes a plurality of placed through holes formed therethrough. At least one pad is provided over at least one of the plated through holes. The pad provides a flat surface for attaching an electronic device and also prevents solder from entering the at least one plated through hole.

Abstract: A stress-relieving heatsink structure and method of forming thereof for an electronic package, for instance, that including a semiconductor chip package which is mounted on a wired carrier, such as a circuitized substrate. The heatsink structure is constituted from a plurality of base structures which are joined along slits so as to impart a degree of flexibility to the electronic package inhibiting the forming of stresses tending to cause delamination of the package components.
