Abstract
An electronics package consisting of a molded plastic body on a ceramic substrate is provided with a layer of a ceramic surrogate material on a surface of the plastic body opposite the ceramic substrate to reduce bending stress of the package. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the ceramic surrogate layer is less than that of the ceramic substrate. Equations are developed for determining an optimum thickness for the surrogate layer.
