Abstract
Abstract An integrated circuit package comprises a plurality of thin flat epoxy-glass layers which are arranged in a stack and are laminated together by prepreg layers that lie between the epoxy-glass layers. This stack has a cavity which is staircase-shaped and extends from an outer epoxy-glass layer to an internal epoxy-glass layer, goes parallel along the internal epoxy-glass layer and then penetrates through it. Patterned electrical conductors lie on the flat surface of the internal epoxy-glass layer, including wire bonding pads on its exposed flat surface portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
An integrated circuit package comprising: a plurality of thin flat epoxy-glass layers which are arranged in a stack and are laminated together by prepreg layers that lie between the epoxy-glass layers; said stack having a cavity which is staircase-shaped and extends from an outer epoxy-glass layer to an internal epoxy-glass layer, and goes parallel along a portion of the flat surface of said internal epoxy-glass layer and then penetrates it; and patterned electrical conductors on the flat surface of said internal epoxy-glass layer including wire bonding pads on its exposed flat surface portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
An integrated circuit package comprising: a plurality of thin flat epoxy-glass layers which are arranged in a stack and are laminated together by prepreg layers that lie between the epoxy-glass layers; said stack having a cavity which is staircase-shaped and extends from an outer epoxy-glass layer to an internal epoxy-glass layer, and goes parallel along a portion of the flat surface of said internal epoxy-glass layer and then penetrates it; and patterned electrical conductors on the flat surface of said internal epoxy-glass layer including wire bonding pads on its exposed flat surface portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An integrated circuit package according to claim 1 wherein said prepreg in said package is blocked from flowing onto said bonding pads while said layers are laminated together by the placement of a thermoplastic plug in said cavity.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
An integrated circuit package according to claim 1 wherein said prepreg in said package is blocked from flowing onto said bonding pads while said layers are laminated together by an elastic bladder which is stretched and forced into said cavity by a pressurized fluid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
An integrated circuit package according to claim 1 wherein said cavity penetrates through multiple internal epoxy-glass layers and exposes respective flat surface portions on each of them, and wherein wire bonding pads are disposed on each of the exposed flat surface portions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
An integrated circuit package according to claim 1 wherein wire bonding pads are disposed around said cavity on said outer epoxy-glass layer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
An integrated circuit package according to claim 1 wherein said adhesive is at least 0.002 inches thick.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
95 words
An integrated circuit package comprising: a stack of thin flat first type layers which are made of a fully cured thermosetting resin and are laminated together by second type layers that are made of an adhesive and lie between the first type layers; said stack having a cavity which extends from an outer first type layer through an internal first type layer and is shaped to expose a portion of the flat surface of said internal first type layer; and wire bonding pads on said exposed flat surface portion of said internal first type layer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
95 words
An integrated circuit package comprising: a stack of thin flat first type layers which are made of a fully cured thermosetting resin and are laminated together by second type layers that are made of an adhesive and lie between the first type layers; said stack having a cavity which extends from an outer first type layer through an internal first type layer and is shaped to expose a portion of the flat surface of said internal first type layer; and wire bonding pads on said exposed flat surface portion of said internal first type layer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
