Laminated integrated circuit packages are prepared using an apparatus and process that consolidates the package without the use of fluids and nonconforming dies. A plurality of laminates (12) from which the package is formed are stacked on a base (32). A pressure transfer membrane (60) having two layers, a silicone rubber release layer (62) adjacent the stack and a urethane rubber separating layer (64). is placed over the stack of laminates. A solid pressurizing medium (54), preferably retained by a latex diaphragm (58) in a cavity (48) in a pressurizing tool (42), is pressed against the pressure transfer membrane and the underlying stack to consolidate the stack of laminates. Preferably, heat is applied simultaneously with the pressing to aid in consolidation, and the region between the pressure transfer membrane and the stack of laminates is evacuated to remove air bubbles that might locally prevent lamination. <IMAGE>
