Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A chip carrier having a chip carrier base and a plurality of electrical leads carried on a first surface of said base, the improvement comprising: said base being formed of thin dielectric material shaped in a recessed chip receiving receptacle, said first surface on a bottom of said receptacle being coated with a first relatively thick layer of heat transmitting material for conducting heat from said chip through said relatively thin dielectric, and a second surface of said dielectric being coated with a second relatively thick layer of heat transmitting material, whereby heat is transferred from said bottom of said receptacle through said relatively thin dielectric and to said second layer of heat transmitting material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A chip carrier having a chip carrier base and a plurality of electrical leads carried on a first surface of said base, the improvement comprising: said base being formed of thin dielectric material shaped in a recessed chip receiving receptacle, said first surface on a bottom of said receptacle being coated with a first relatively thick layer of heat transmitting material for conducting heat from said chip through said relatively thin dielectric, and a second surface of said dielectric being coated with a second relatively thick layer of heat transmitting material, whereby heat is transferred from said bottom of said receptacle through said relatively thin dielectric and to said second layer of heat transmitting material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein said base includes side portions extending outwardly of said bottom portion, and planar flange portions joined to said side portions, said leads projecting from said bottom portion and over said side portions, said leads being provided with enlarged pad portions secured on said flange portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The structure as recited in claim 2, wherein said pads are in a staggered arrangement.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
179 words
In a chip carrier having a chip mounting base and a plurality of electrical leads carried on a first surface of said base, the improvement comprising: said base being formed of thin rigid dielectric and deformed in a recessed chip receiving receptacle having integral flexible flange portions thereon, a bottom of said receptacle having a plated or bonded layer of heat transmitting material for conducting heat from said chip through said relatively thin dielectric, said electrical leads being plated on or bonded to said first surface and being deformed together with said base in conformation with the shape of said recessed chip receiving receptacle, said electrical leads extending continuously over said first surface from adjacent said heat transmitting material and over said flexible flange portions, said flange portions being provided with enlarged pads integral with said electrical leads, and a second surface of said dielectric having a plated or bonded layer of heat transmitting material whereby heat is transferred from said first layer of heat transmitting material through said dielectric and to said second layer of heat transmitting material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
179 words
In a chip carrier having a chip mounting base and a plurality of electrical leads carried on a first surface of said base, the improvement comprising: said base being formed of thin rigid dielectric and deformed in a recessed chip receiving receptacle having integral flexible flange portions thereon, a bottom of said receptacle having a plated or bonded layer of heat transmitting material for conducting heat from said chip through said relatively thin dielectric, said electrical leads being plated on or bonded to said first surface and being deformed together with said base in conformation with the shape of said recessed chip receiving receptacle, said electrical leads extending continuously over said first surface from adjacent said heat transmitting material and over said flexible flange portions, said flange portions being provided with enlarged pads integral with said electrical leads, and a second surface of said dielectric having a plated or bonded layer of heat transmitting material whereby heat is transferred from said first layer of heat transmitting material through said dielectric and to said second layer of heat transmitting material.
