Abstract:
1. An electronic component assembly fabricated in accordance with a process comprising the steps of: i) providing a placement fixture comprising a rigid planar base having a sticky coating on one surface thereof, ii) placing a plurality of electronic components at least some of which include electric contacts, on said sticky coating in a desired pattern, iii) placing a containment means on said sticky coating, said containment means enclosing the components, iv) dispensing sufficient encapsulant into the containment means to thereby partially encapsulate the components, v) separating at least the placement fixture from the encapsulated components to thereby expose the electrical contacts of the components, all said contacts being in a single plane, vi) interconnecting the electrical contacts of the components wherein said interconnection is achieved in a plurality of steps comprising: a) applying a first planar interconnect layer to the component contacts; b) applying a dielectric layer containing vias over said first interconnect layer; c) applying an additional planar interconnect layer which connects to said first interconnect layer through said vias, and vii) placing additional components in electrical contact with the components interconnected in step vi).
