              2. The package of claim 1 wherein said chip carrier and said circuit board are                           
              formed of the same material.

                    4. The package as defined in claim 1 wherein said first set of solder                              
              connections is formed of a higher melting point solder than said second set of                           
              solder connections.                                                                                      
                    5. The package as defined in claim 1 further characterized by [the pattern of                      
              said] first bonding pads being more closely spaced to each other [finer] than [the                       
              pattern of the] said second bonding pads.                                                                
                    6. The package as defined in claim 1 wherein the thermal coefficient of                            
              expansions of the material of the chip carrier and the material of the circuit board                     
              do not differ by more than about 20%.                                                                    
                    7. A method of mounting integrated circuit chips onto a circuit board                              
              comprising the steps of:                                                                                 
                    providing an integrated circuit chip having a surface array of input/output                        
              pads on one side thereof which array forms a footprint;                                                  
                    providing a chip carrier formed of an organic glass filled epoxy dielectric                        
              material having first and second opposite surfaces;                                                      
                    said chip carrier having a coefficient of thermal expansion of at least                            
              17×10-6 ppm/c°;                                                                                          
                    forming a first set of bonding pads on said first surface of the chip carrier                      
              arranged in an array corresponding with the chip footprint;                                              

                                                        - 72 -
