Abstract

Improved thermal characteristics are obtained in a multi-layer substrate for mounting a semiconductor device. A prepeg layer disposed in close proximity to or immediately adjacent to a semiconductor device is formed incorporating an integral, thermally-conductive mesh or screen. The prepeg layer is preferably a sandwich structure of two BT-resin layers (films), between which is disposed a copper screen. In this manner, heat is conducted away from an operating device by an integral part of the substrate, without the need for additional slugs or heat sink structures. Utility for multichip modules is also disclosed.
