Abstract:
A semiconductor chip module includes semiconductor chips each of which has contacts on its entire front face. A multi-layered organic circuit board having a small dielectric constant is provided for mounting the semiconductor chips. Intermediate ceramic substrates having the same thermal expansion coefficient as that of the semiconductor chip, are also provided. Each such intermediate ceramic substrate has contacts on its front and back faces corresponding to those of the semiconductor chip. These contacts are electrically connected directly in a one-to-one relationship. The contacts on the semiconductor chip and the corresponding ones on the front face of the intermediate ceramic substrates are connected by solder. The contacts on the back face of the intermediate ceramic substrate and the corresponding contacts on the front face of the multi-layered ceramic circuit board are connected by respective conductive pins having a predetermined flexibility and rigidity through a predetermined gap therebetween. With this arrangement, the relative displacement due to a thermal expansion difference between the intermediate ceramic substrate and the multi-layered organic circuit board is permitted without causing substantial stress thereon.

Abstract:
An integrated circuit package having a plurality of leads capable of holding a quantity of solder paste prior to bonding to a printed circuit board or other substrate. The solder paste bearing structure may be straight or spiral grooves, or even a slot or roughened surface, running down at least the lower length of the leads as long as some mechanism is present which will first hold the solder paste or other electrically conductive binder on the lead and then deliver the binder to the end of the lead to produce an electrical and structural bond in a binder flowing operation. Application of the solder paste to the leads is accomplished by simply dipping the package leads into the paste thereby eliminating the need to make a solder mask for the substrate as well as the task of aligning the mask to the substrate.
