Abstract: A photomask formed of a transparent dielectric substrate, such as glass and quartz based substrates, having a conductive surface adjacent region, which is patterned with sequential overcoatings of a composite chrome oxide layer and a chrome film. The mask comprises a combination of varied reflectivities to provide proper densities for the opaque areas of the mask.

Abstract: A method for fabricating an interconnection package for a plurality of semiconductor chips which include the fabrication of a multi-layered glass-ceramic superstructure with a multi-layered distribution of conductors on a preformed multi-layered glass-ceramic base, by the repeatable steps of depositing a conductor pattern on the base and forming thereon a crystallizable glass dielectric layer which is then crystallized to a glass-ceramic prior to further additions of conductor patterns and crystallizable glass layers to form a monolithic compatible substrate all through. Semiconductor chips can be electrically connected to expose conductor patterns at the top surface of the resultant glass-ceramic package.
