The surface mount package is assembled from a ceramic base which is imprinted on its upper and lower surfaces with conductive patterns for attachment of and connection to an electronic or electromechanical device, a molded dielectric layer for forming a cavity and a seal ring. The molded dielectric is formed by aligning a dielectric preform with the base, positioning the seal ring on top of the preform, then applying a mold over the layers to shape the dielectric during a firing process that fuses the base, preform and seal ring to create a hermetic seal. The preform is of sufficient thickness that the electronic device will be fully contained within the cavity when placed into the completed package.

Molded ceramic surface mount package

A single layer surface mount package suitable for use with a high frequency microelectronic device includes a lead frame partially embedded in a dielectric material and a lid. The dielectric material is integrally formed or molded into the cavities between the leads and die attach area of the lead frame such that at least the die attach area remains exposed on the top and the bottom surface of the dielectric material. A sufficient length of each lead remains exposed beyond the perimeter of the dielectric material for surface mounting to a circuit of a next level assembly.

Single layer surface mount package

A connector or clip for grounding one or more electrical conducting leads in a microelectronic circuit case. A connector in the form of a metal plate attached to a wall of a case and to an insulated lead projecting through the wall, providing an electrical conducting path between the lead and the case. A connector plate with a flat face and a slot therein, and in one embodiment with an outwardly projecting tab at the bottom of the slot, with the connector being suitable for attachment by low temperature and high temperature brazing and spot welding.
