Abstract
A surface mountable integrated circuit chip package is taught. Briefly stated, a flexible laminate having conductive strips thereon is wrapped around a heat sink. Plastic is molded around the laminate-heat sink piece, with a window left in the center thereof, which coincides with a window in the laminate. An integrated circuit chip is then bonded to the heat sink with wire leads then run from the chip to the conductive strips on the laminate. A potting material is then placed in the window thereby completely encapsulating the integrated circuit chip so as to prevent exposure to environmental or physical damage. This thereby forms a package which is surface mountable to a circuit board through attachment techniques such as the vapor phase soldering.
