Abstract

A lead-frame method and assembly for interconnecting circuits within a circuit module allows a circuit module to be fabricated without a circuit board substrate. Integrated circuit dies are attached to a metal lead-frame assembly and the die interconnects are wire-bonded to interconnect points on the lead-frame assembly. An extension of the lead-frame assembly out of the circuit interconnect plane provides external electrical contacts for connection of the circuit module to a socket.
