Claims
- 1. An electronic package encapsulating a plurality of integrated circuit devices, comprising:
- a metallic base component formed from a copper or a copper base alloy coated with a second metal selected from the group consisting of nickel and aluminum, said metallic base component at least partially coated with a refractory oxide formed from said second metal;
- a hybrid circuit assembly having a dielectric substrate supporting circuit traces and containing a first means electrically interconnecting said integrated circuit devices to external circuitry and a second means supporting said plurality of integrated circuit devices; and
- a third means bonding said hybrid circuit to said metallic base component.
- 2. An electronic package encapsulating a plurality of integrated circuit devices, comprising:
- a metallic base component formed from a copper base alloy containing from about 2% to about 12% by weight aluminum and at least partially coated with an alumina refractory oxide layer formed in situ;
- a hybrid circuit assembly having a dielectric substrate supporting circuit traces and containing a first means electrically interconnecting said integrated circuit devices to external circuitry and a second means supporting said plurality of integrated circuit devices; and
- a third means bonding said hybrid circuit to said metallic base component.
- 3. The electronic package of claim 1 wherein said third sealing means is a thermosetting polymer filled with a material to increase thermal conductivity.
- 4. The electronic package of claim 3 wherein said second means is selected from the group consisting of bonding of said plurality of integrated circuit devices to metallized pads formed on said dielectric substrate, bonding said plurality of integrated circuit devices to said dielectric substrate, bonding said plurality of integrated circuit devices to said inorganic dielectric layer, and bonding said plurality of integrated circuit devices to said metallic base component and combinations thereof.
- 5. The electronic package of claim 4 wherein said first means is selected from the group consisting of metallized interposer pads, metallic foil extending from said dielectric substrate to said inner leads and metallized bonding pads for direct attachment to said inner leads.
- 6. The electronic package of claim 5 wherein a polymer molding resin surrounds at least a portion of said leadframe and of said metallic base component.
- 7. The electronic package of claim 2 wherein said third sealing means is a thermosetting polymer filled with a material to increase thermal conductivity.
- 8. The electronic package of claim 7 wherein said second means is selected from the group consisting of bonding of said plurality of integrated circuit devices to metallized pads formed on said dielectric substrate, bonding said plurality of integrated circuit devices to said dielectric substrate, bonding said plurality of integrated circuit devices to said inorganic dielectric layer, and bonding said plurality of integrated circuit devices to said metallic base component and combinations thereof.
- 9. The electronic package of claim 8 wherein said first means is selected from the consisting of metallized interposer pads, metallic foil extending from said dielectric substrate to said inner leads and metallized bonding pads for direct attachment to said inner leads.
- 10. The electronic package of claim 9 wherein a polymer molding resin surrounds at least a portion of said leadframe and of said metallic base component.
