Abstract

Abstract Integrated circuit housing composed of three coated dielectric plates. The integrated circuit housing with the three coated dielectric plates has a signal plane, a supply voltage plane and ground planes. Signal lines located in the signal plane are fashioned as triplate lines and for a reflection-free termination of the signal lines integrated resistors are provided in the signal plane. The supply voltage plane is insulated from the two surrounding ground planes by a coating of dielectric material.
