Patent ID: 8193043

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor die package, the method comprising: assembling at least one semiconductor die, at least one electrical trace, and a metal-oxide substrate together, the at least one semiconductor die having a first surface, a second surface, a first electrically conductive region disposed on the die's first surface, and second electrically conductive region disposed on the die's second surface, the components being assembled such that the at least one electrical trace is disposed between the first surface of the at least one semiconductor die and a first surface of the metal-oxide substrate, such that the first electrically conductive region of the die is electrically coupled to a first portion of the at least one electrical trace, and such that the die does not occlude a second portion of the at least one electrical trace; assembling the metal-oxide substrate and a heat-sinking component together such that a second surface of the metal-oxide substrate and a mounting surface of the heat-sinking component face one another; and maintaining the second electrically conductive region disposed on the second surface of the at least one semiconductor die uncovered such that the semiconductor die package is mountable to a substrate with said second electrically conductive region abutting the substrate.
