Patent ID: 8059057

Claim:
A structure comprising: a dielectric layer having a pocket with substantially vertical sidewalls formed through the dielectric layer; at least one trace formed on a first side of the dielectric layer, at least one trace coupled to a bond pad adjacent one of the substantially vertical sidewalls; a metal ground plane attached to the dielectric layer on a second side of the dielectric layer that is opposite the first side of the dielectric layer; an integrated circuit disposed in the pocket, the integrated circuit having opposing sides substantially parallel to the vertical sidewalls; an adhesion metal layer formed between the integrated circuit and the metal ground plane beneath the pocket, the adhesion metal layer extending between the dielectric layer and the metal ground plane beyond the substantially vertical sidewalls of the pocket; an interconnection between the integrated circuit and the bond pad; and wherein the length of the interconnection is less than 15 mils, and wherein the metal ground plane is configured to provide structural support and operate as a heat sink by enhancing heat dissipation from the integrated circuit.
