Appeal 2006-1454 Application 09/004,524 Patent 5,483,421 34. 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 dielectric material having first and second opposite surfaces; forming a first set of bonding pads on said first surface of the chip carrier arranged in an array corresponding with the chip footprint; providing a pattern of conductors on said chip carrier connected to accommodate said input/output pads; forming a first set of solder connections between the input/output pads on the chip and said first set of bonding pads on the chip carrier; encapsulating said first set of solder connections; forming a second set of bonding pads on the second surface of the chip carrier arranged in an array; forming electrically conducting vias through the chip carrier to connect said first set of bonding pads to the second set of bonding pads; providing a circuit board formed of an organic material having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to the chip carrier; forming a set of electrical connection sites on said circuit board arranged in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the array of the second bonding pads on said chip carrier; forming a second set of solder connections between the pads of said second set of bonding pads on the chip carrier and the connection sites on the circuit board; and forming wiring on said circuit board connected to said second set of bonding pads. - 80 -Page: Previous 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80
