Abstract

Abstract The invention is related to the computer science and may be used in the design of miniature high-performance computing systems. The purpose of the invention is to increase the IC stuffing density and to reduce the microelectronic module assembly effort. The multilayered hybrid electronic module contains a backplane with multilayer wiring with ICs and sockets installed. A socket body is a box of elastic dielectric material, whose vertical walls have vertical metallized contact slots connected to the contact pads on the outer bottom surface of the socket. IC packages to be installed in the sockets have a rigid peripheral frame with cylindrical leads on the perimeter. The leads are parallel to the base of the package and lie in the same plane. Dimensions and shape of the IC package correspond to those of the socket cavity. Dimensions and positions of the IC leads correspond to those of the contact slots. IC packages may also have raised tabs for proper spacing between ICs installed in the same socket and for easier removal of ICs from the socket. Forced cooling of ICs in the socket is allowed by air passages in the socket body aligned with chip-to-chip gaps. The contact surface between socket contact slots and IC leads may be increased by using leads with larger diameter arranged in two planes in a checkerboard pattern.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 195 words
A multilayered hybrid electronic module containing a two-sided backplane with multi-layer wiring, chips and sockets installed on both surface of the backplane with their leads connected to the corresponding contact pads of the backplane, with each socket housing up to K chips stacked on top of each other, distinct in the part that the socket body is made of elastic dielectric material in the shape of a box with side walls having vertical buffer and contact slots, the inner surface of each contact slot being metallized and connected to the respective lead of the socket on its outer bottom surface, and vertical ribs formed by adjacent slots have a non-metallized rounded top portion to provide for guidance and positioning of a chip during installation in the socket; packages of the chips to be installed in the socket have a rigid peripheral frame with cylindrical leads on its perimeter, the axes of leads parallel to the chip base and lying in the same plane, with the dimensions and shape of the chip package corresponding to those of the socket cavity and the dimensions and positions of the chip leads corresponding to those of the contact slots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 195 words
A multilayered hybrid electronic module containing a two-sided backplane with multi-layer wiring, chips and sockets installed on both surface of the backplane with their leads connected to the corresponding contact pads of the backplane, with each socket housing up to K chips stacked on top of each other, distinct in the part that the socket body is made of elastic dielectric material in the shape of a box with side walls having vertical buffer and contact slots, the inner surface of each contact slot being metallized and connected to the respective lead of the socket on its outer bottom surface, and vertical ribs formed by adjacent slots have a non-metallized rounded top portion to provide for guidance and positioning of a chip during installation in the socket; packages of the chips to be installed in the socket have a rigid peripheral frame with cylindrical leads on its perimeter, the axes of leads parallel to the chip base and lying in the same plane, with the dimensions and shape of the chip package corresponding to those of the socket cavity and the dimensions and positions of the chip leads corresponding to those of the contact slots.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 89 words
A device per claim 1 , distinct in the part that the chip leads are arranged in a checkerboard pattern in two planes parallel to the chip base, with the spacing between adjacent contacts in different planes being greater than the thickness of a rib formed by the slots corresponding to those leads, and the diameter of the leads being greater than the width of the corresponding slots, with the increase in lead diameter and spacing chosen so as not to interfere with installation of chips into the socket.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 63 words
A device per claim 1 , distinct in the part that the chip package has raised tabs whose shape allows for easier removal of the chip from the socket as well as provides for spacing between chips stacked in the same socket, with the socket body having air passages aligned with such installation gaps to allow for forced air cooling of the chips.
