  • Patent number: 5067004
    Abstract: An arrangement for interconnecting high density signals of integrated circuits provides minimal cross-talk, low noise and controlled impedance. A thermally conductive baseplate is used to support integrated circuit die in a multi-layered substrate. The integrated circuit die are thermally coupled to the baseplate, and the multi-layered substrate includes apertures therethrough for receiving the integrated circuit die. Tape automated bonding is used to connect leads on the integrated circuit die with conductors disposed on layers in the substrate. Other aspects of the arrangement include providing a power flex-connector and a signal flex-connector to connect the multi-layered substrate to an external power source and to a printed circuit board, respectively. To further minimize noise interference, the multi-layered substrate includes separate power and ground layers which are adjacent to one another.
