An integrated circuit (IC) carrier having uniform conductivity and the ability to securely hold an IC in a predetermined position within the carrier is disclosed. The IC is securely held inside a closed enclosure without using the IC leads to support the IC. Additionally, a viewing window which allows the reading of information printed on the IC from outside the closed enclosure is disclosed. The enclosure is formed as a one-piece object which additionally includes a living hinge, a latching system, structure which aids stacking, and structure which facilitates opening of the enclosure by automated means.

Apparatus and method for protecting integrated circuits

A hybrid integrated circuit package and a method for fabricating the package. The package comprises a ceramic substrate having a blank metallization and feedthroughs screen printed thereon. A ceramic seal ring is joined to the substrate to form the side walls of the package. The substrate metallization is plated with nickel and gold and external leads are brazed to the ends of the feedthroughs. As such the package is suitable for use with a large number of different integrated circuits. The package can be adapted for use with a particular integrated circuit function by selectively patterning the blank substrate metallization. This is accomplished by laminating a preformed piece of dry film photoresist material to the package bottom. This piece of photoresist is then exposed through a photographic mask using a collimated light source.
