Abstract
A method of self packaging an integrated circuit chip (10) on a printed circuit board (14) where conductive leads (16) form an electrical connection with interconnect leads (12) on the printed circuit board (14). A centering frame (22) placed on the printed circuit board serves to align the leads (12 and 16). A cooling cap (34) which dissipates heat from the integrated circuit chip (10) is placed over the centering frame (22) and integrated circuit chip (10). In one embodiment, the leads (12 and 16) form a pressure fit and the cooling cap (34) forces the pressure-fit electrical connections. In another embodiment, the leads (12 and 16) make rubbing contact with each other.
