ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR DIRECTLY CONNECTING INTEGRATED CIRCUITS TO ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE SHEETS

摘要

An integrated circuit assembly includes a first electrically conductive sheet, a second electrically conductive sheet electrically isolated from the first electrically conductive sheet, a non-conductive material disposed between the first and second electrically conductive sheets, an electrical trace disposed on the non-conductive material and electrically isolated from the first and second electrically conductive sheets, and an integrated circuit having at least one lead directly connected to the first electrically conductive sheet, at least one lead directly connected to the second electrically conductive sheet, and at least one lead electrically connected to the electrical trace. Other integrated circuit assemblies and method for making integrated circuit assemblies are also disclosed.

1. An integrated circuit assembly comprising:
an integrated circuit; a first electrically conductive sheet formed separately from the integrated circuit; a second electrically conductive sheet electrically isolated from the first electrically conductive sheet and formed separately from the integrated circuit; a non-conductive material disposed between the first and second electrically conductive sheets and formed separately from the integrated circuit, the non-conductive material separating and electrically isolating the first electrically conductive sheet from the second electrically conductive sheet; an electrical trace disposed on the non-conductive material and electrically isolated from the first and second electrically conductive sheets, the electrical trace including a conductive via formed in at least the non-conductive material; the integrated circuit having a top side and a bottom side, the integrated circuit positioned on a first side of the electrically conductive sheets and having at least one lead directly connected to the first electrically conductive sheet on the bottom side of the integrated circuit, at least one lead directly connected to the second electrically conductive sheet on the bottom side of the integrated circuit, and at least one lead electrically connected to the electrical trace on the bottom side of the integrated circuit; a circuit board positioned on a second side of the electrically conductive sheets; and at least one control circuit disposed on the circuit board and electrically connected to the conductive via for providing a control signal to the integrated circuit.
