A PACKAGE FOR A DIE

摘要

A package for a die comprising a thermally conducting carrier; a dielectric frame on the carrier, the frame having a recess therein for receiving a die; an electrically insulating lid adapted to be positioned on the frame to cover the recess, the lid having dimensions such that when covering the recess a portion of the lid extends beyond the frame creating at least one overhang; the frame having at least one electrically conducting frame path; and the lid having a corresponding electrically conducting lid path arranged such that when the lid is positioned on the frame a portion of the lid path overlies the frame path, the lid path extending onto the overhang beyond the frame.
