Abstract

An integrated circuit chip carrier having reduced and predicable interlead capacitance, reduced glass chip formation, and improved wirebonding characteristics is disclosed. The chip carrier includes a substrate having a central cavity for locating an integrated circuit die, an inner channel and an outer channel, adhesive glass located in the channels and overflowing above the substrate surface, a leadframe mounted on the substrate having a plurality of leads embedded in the adhesive glass overflow and coplanarly resting on the substrate, the leads extending from beyond the substrate periphery inward to near the cavity rim, and a thin layer of sealing glass extending from the periphery of the substrate over the outer channel for hermetically sealing the chip carrier.
