Heat conductive mounting and connection of semiconductor chips in micro-circuitry on a substrate

Integrated circuit chips are mounted in electronic assemblies with the chip terminal pads "up" or on the opposite side of the chip from the substrate of the circuit board. The lower chip surface is bonded either directly to the heat-conducting substrate or through an intermediate pedestal of a good heat-conducting volume of metal. Beam leads from the integrated circuit terminals are bonded to relatively large heat-conductive posts acting as spacers, if necessary, between the beam leads and the circuitry pattern.
