Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
An electronic assembly comprising: a semiconductor device, said semiconductor device having a plurality of bonding pads arranged in a plurality of rows proximate one external surface thereof; an external connector, said external connector having a plurality of electrical terminations associated therewith; and means for directly interconnecting said bonding pads with said electrical terminations, said means including a plurality of electrically conductive strips, said strips being secured to an electrically isolating support member having two opposed external surfaces, said strips having first end portions of differing lengths having a first pattern corresponding to said bonding pads and second end portions having a second pattern corresponding to said electrical terminations, said first end portions and said second end portions extending beyond the external opposed surfaces such that said strips extend outside of said support member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
An electronic assembly comprising: a semiconductor device, said semiconductor device having a plurality of bonding pads arranged in a plurality of rows proximate one external surface thereof; an external connector, said external connector having a plurality of electrical terminations associated therewith; and means for directly interconnecting said bonding pads with said electrical terminations, said means including a plurality of electrically conductive strips, said strips being secured to an electrically isolating support member having two opposed external surfaces, said strips having first end portions of differing lengths having a first pattern corresponding to said bonding pads and second end portions having a second pattern corresponding to said electrical terminations, said first end portions and said second end portions extending beyond the external opposed surfaces such that said strips extend outside of said support member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
Assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein each said conductive strip is tapered across said support member from said comparatively narrower first end portions to said comparatively wider second end portions whereby any desired fan-out is provided.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
119 words
A single level interconnection comprises: a plurality of electrically conductive strips, said strips being secured to a support member and having first and second end portions, said first end portions having a first pattern corresponding to a first predetermined pattern and said second end portions having a second pattern corresponding to a second predetermined pattern, said conductive strips having relatively longer first end portions alternating with conductive strips having relatively shorter first end portions, said support member having two opposed external surfaces, said first end portions extending beyond one of said opposed external surfaces and said second end portions extending beyond the other of said opposed external surfaces in order that said strips terminate outside of said support member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
119 words
A single level interconnection comprises: a plurality of electrically conductive strips, said strips being secured to a support member and having first and second end portions, said first end portions having a first pattern corresponding to a first predetermined pattern and said second end portions having a second pattern corresponding to a second predetermined pattern, said conductive strips having relatively longer first end portions alternating with conductive strips having relatively shorter first end portions, said support member having two opposed external surfaces, said first end portions extending beyond one of said opposed external surfaces and said second end portions extending beyond the other of said opposed external surfaces in order that said strips terminate outside of said support member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
Interconnection as claimed in claim 3 wherein said first end portions have a uniform width and said second end portions have a uniform width, said uniform width of said first end portions being comparatively narrower than said uniform width of said second end portions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
Interconnection as claimed in claim 4 wherein each said conductive strip is tapered across said support member from said comparatively narrower first end portions to said comparatively wider second end portions whereby any desired fan-out is provided.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
Interconnection as claimed in claim 3 wherein said first predetermined pattern is a pattern of bonding pads associated with a semiconductor device and said second predetermined pattern is a pattern of electrical terminations associated with an external connector.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
Assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein said electrical termination of said external connector lie in a single plane.
