  • Patent number: 5872700
    Abstract: The invention relates to microcircuit packaging techniques, and more particularly to the packaging of a structure compiled of several microcircuits. In an arrangement according to the invention, unpackaged components (2) are mounted on a substrate (20), and to the substrate (20) there is attached a tape (4); on the side of the tape directed away from the substrate, there are formed solder bumps (10). By the solder bumps (10), the whole structure can be mounted to a circuit board by applying conventional surface-mounting techniques. The connections between the solder bumps (10) and the I/O lines of the substrate are realised by conductive patterns formed on the tape, and by leads (14) provided at the edges of the tape.
