Abstract
Abstract A multichip package is comprised of a substrate having a grid of input and output pins disposed on an under surface. Power supply and grounding wire layers are embedded in the substrate. An upper surface of the substrate has a plurality of thin wire layers separated by at least one insulating layer. A plurality of via holes in the insulating layer permit conductive interconnection of the wire layers. A plurality of leadless chip carriers on the upper layer have tape automated bonding leads that are inner lead bonded to the substrate. The chips are directly connected to the substrate and have a plurality of chip carrier terminals on an under surface that connect to the terminal pads. The chip carrier has a cover made of highly heat conductive material that contacts the back side of at least one mounted chip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A multi-chip package including a cooling mechanism, comprising: a substrate on which a plurality of IC chips are mounted; said IC chips being adhesively bonded to a respective carrier cover for diffusing heat; each said carrier cover covering a corresponding said IC chip on said substrate and being fixed relative to said substrate; a heat diffusion cover member mounted over one side of said substrate, covering each said IC chip and a corresponding carrier cover; a liquid cooling board disposed over one side of said heat diffusion cover member, opposite to said IC chips; said liquid cooling board having an inlet for admitting liquid coolant, a channel for receiving and holding said liquid coolant, and an outlet for releasing said coolant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A multi-chip package including a cooling mechanism, comprising: a substrate on which a plurality of IC chips are mounted; said IC chips being adhesively bonded to a respective carrier cover for diffusing heat; each said carrier cover covering a corresponding said IC chip on said substrate and being fixed relative to said substrate; a heat diffusion cover member mounted over one side of said substrate, covering each said IC chip and a corresponding carrier cover; a liquid cooling board disposed over one side of said heat diffusion cover member, opposite to said IC chips; said liquid cooling board having an inlet for admitting liquid coolant, a channel for receiving and holding said liquid coolant, and an outlet for releasing said coolant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A multi-chip package with a cooling mechanism, as recited in claim 1, wherein a heat-conductive filler is inserted in between said substrate and said heat diffusion cover member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A multi-chip package including a cooling mechanism as recited in claim 2, wherein each said carrier cover is made of cobalt-nickel alloy.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A multi-chip package including a cooling mechanism, as recited in claim 1, wherein said heat diffusion cover member and said liquid cooling board are detachably installed such that each is separable from the other in said cooling mechanism.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A multi-chip package including a cooling mechanism as recited in claim 4, wherein a heat-conductive filler is inserted in between said substrate and said heat diffusion cover member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A multi-chip package including a cooling mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein portions of said heat diffusion cover member are in direct contact with said carrier covers.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A multi-chip package including a cooling mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein a slight gap along an axis perpendicular to a major plane of said heat diffusion cover member separates said heat diffusion cover member from said carrier covers.
