Abstract

An IC package includes a high thermal conductivity insulating material substrate, such as polycrystalline diamond or diamond-coated silicon carbide or molybdenum, on which the IC is mounted for thermal management. The electrical lead pins of the package are electrically connected to the IC and thermally connected to the substrate. The thermal connection can be by bonding the pins directly to the substrate.
