Abstract:
An integrated circuit carrier structure including a laminated assembly, said laminated assembly comprising:a first surface; a second surface substantially parallel to said first surface; a first two-dimensional array of contact pads arranged in a first grid on said first surface, said first two-dimensional array of contact pads corresponding to an array of first contact members for contacting a first substrate; a second two-dimensional array of contact pads arranged in a second grid on said second surface, said second two-dimensional array of contact pads corresponding to an array of second contact members for contacting a second substrate; through-vias within said structure for connecting respective contact pads on the first and second surfaces, wherein said through-vias are horizontally positioned off-grid relative to contact members selected from the group consisting of said first contact members, said second contact members, and a combination of said first and second contact members, and further wherein each of said through-vias extends along a straight line from said first surface to said second surface; and conductive elements which connect the corresponding contact pads with the through-vias.
