Patent ID: 8344500

Claim:
An integrated circuit module, comprising: a chip; and a carrier supporting the chip, the carrier defining a front side and a back side, the chip being disposed on the front side, the carrier comprising: a first insulating layer defining a first opening at the back side; a second insulating layer defining a second opening and a chip accommodation opening at the front side; and a patterned conductive layer sandwiched in between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer, the patterned conductive layer being formed with an inner contacting portion exposed through the chip accommodation opening and an outer contacting portion exposed through the first opening and the second opening, wherein the inner contacting portion connects the chip through the chip accommodation opening and the outer contacting portion is provided for electronically connecting an electronic device to the patterned conductive layer selectively at the front side through the second opening and at the back side through the first opening, and wherein the patterned conductive layer defines a through hole in the outer contacting portion, the through hole communicating with the second opening and the first opening and a conductive adhesive layer is added into the first opening, the second opening, and the through hole so as to adhere the carrier to the electronic device.
