Abstract

An improved integrated circuit package (10) includes a cover (12), an intermediate subassembly (14) and a bottom subassembly (16). The intermediate and bottom subassemblies (14, 16) include lead frames (48, 22) respectively embedded therein, as well as openings which define a cavity for a semiconductor chip. The external lead pins (24) of the bottom subassembly (16) permit interconnection of the package with a circuit board or the like, while the external contacts (50) of the intermediate subassembly (14) cooperate with openings (62) in the cover to provide integral socket connections for other semiconductor packages or electrical components.
