  • Patent number: 4603345
    Abstract: A module for a semiconductor chip is disclosed. The module includes a heat sink with a flat surface to which the back face of the semiconductor chip is directly bonded. The exposed face of the chip has an array of power, ground and signal contacts. A plurality of alternating power and ground bus bars span the exposed face of the chip. A multilayer ceramic is located on the other side of the bus bar array and has a surface proximate the power and ground bus bars with an array of contacts which correspond to at least the signal contacts on the chip. Power leads connect the power bus bars to adjacent power contacts on the chip; ground leads connect the ground bus bars to adjacent ground contacts on the chip; and signal leads pass between adjacent power and ground bus bars and interconnect the signal contacts on the chip with the corresponding signal contacts on the ceramic.

  • Patent number: 4396971
    Abstract: Package for an LSI chip having a plurality of contact pads comprising a carrier and a cover. The carrier is formed of a base of an insulating material and has a generally planar area for receiving the chip. A cooling stud is mounted on the base and can be provided with one or more removable cooling fins. The stud is mounted on the base opposite the area for receiving the chip. Spaced leads are carried by the base and have outer extremities which extend beyond the base in a direction away from the chip and are free of the carrier and have inner extremities which are in close proximity to the area for receiving the chip. A grounding bus is carried by the carrier to facilitate electrical checking of the package.

  • Patent number: 4016463
    Abstract: A high density multilayer printed circuit card assembly having plated through holes in electrical contact with the layers of conducting metal. The card is provided with bonding pads in contact with the plated through holes whereby wiring may be selectively utilized to form interconnections for components carried by the card. Signal lines are brought to the surface so that they can be interrupted and changes be made by wiring. Components of various types are arranged in rows to facilitate cooling.
