Abstract:
A method of forming a thin multichip module comprising the steps of:(a) forming a cover member, wherein said cover member is rigid and includes heat dissipation properties;(b) forming a thin laminate circuit having a plurality of electrical contacts;(c) affixing said thin laminate circuit to the inner side of the cover member by use of an adhesive film;(d) affixing one or more semiconductor devices to one side of said thin laminate circuit, to form a composite semiconductor substrate subassembly;(e) forming a module frame having a cavity to receive the substrate subassembly;(f) forming a plurality of contacts along at least one edge of the module frame to make electrical and mechanical contact with the plurality of contacts on the thin laminate circuit of the substrate subassembly;(g) attaching the substrate subassembly to the module frame so that the contacts of the subassembly and the frame are electrically connected.
