Abstract:
An integrated-circuit (IC) package for mounting an IC therein, comprising:a platelike dielectric substrate having two outer surfaces and having a first electrical circuitry, the first electrical circuitry having portions electrically continuous with test points on an outer surface of the substrate and with conductive contacts on an outer surface of the substrate; a plurality of platelike dielectric members each for mounting therein an IC having electrical contacts on a surface, each member having two outer surfaces and having a second electrical circuitry disposed on at least one outer surface, the second electrical circuitry having portions electrically continuous with test points on a first outer surface of the member and with conductive contacts on a second outer surface of the member, the members being fixed to the substrate so that conductive contacts on the members are electrically continuous with conductive contacts on the substrate in a predetermined arrangement, the conductive contacts being positioned to be connectable to the electrical contacts of the IC upon mounting of the IC in the dielectric member.
