Abstract
A plastic encapsulated integrated circuit package is disclosed which comprises a multilayer ground plane assembly bonded to a lead frame with an integrated circuit die bonded to the composite assembly. The multilayer ground plane assembly is first formed by bonding together a copper sheet and a thermally conductive polyimide material insulating layer to which is also bonded a layer of a b-stage epoxy resin. The ground plane assembly is then bonded to the lead frame by placing the b-stage epoxy layer of the ground plane assembly against the lead frame and heating the ground plane assembly and lead frame to a temperature of from about 120.degree. C. to just under 200.degree. C. for a time period not exceeding about 10 seconds to bond the b-stage epoxy resin to the lead frame without oxidizing it. An integrated circuit die is then attached to the composite assembly with an epoxy adhesive and the die attached assembly is then cured in a non-oxidizing atmosphere in an oven at approximately 150.degree. C. for about 90 minutes to cure the adhesive and the b-stage epoxy layer. The die is then electrically connected to the lead frame. The bonded together ground plane/lead frame/die composite assembly is then placed in a mold and encapsulated in plastic. The integrated circuit structure of the invention has a lower average temperature rise per watt of power than prior art structures. Furthermore, logic-type plastic-encapsulated structures constructed in accordance with the invention have been found to operate at faster speeds due to lower inductance because of the presence of the copper ground plane layer.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
