Method for producing high speed integrated circuits

An improved interconnect method for producing high speed integrated circuits, comprising:

• a) stacking and laminating together in planar relationship and matching configuration with each other, a plurality of multilayered series of flexible electroconductive printed circuits, multilayered series of flexible electroconductive printed circuits, each of selected design, by means of a plurality of adhesive films of suitable composition, one each of which is attached to the bottom of the stack of multilayered series of printed circuits and between each of the multilayers of the series of circuits and with one edge of the bottom layer of adhesive film being attached to the plurality of lead fingers on one side of a lead frame and the opposing edge of the bottom layer of adhesive film being attached to the plurality of lead fingers on the opposing side of the lead frame, with a plurality of die of selected design, each being located between the opposing lead fingers and also attached to the top surface of the die to the bottom layer of adhesive film;
• b) having each multilayered series of flexible printed circuits contain a plurality of electrical signal plane circuits and a plurality of electrical power plane circuits and a plurality of electrical ground plane circuits, stacked and adhesively attached to each other in alternating order, with each signal plane circuit having attached proximate thereto and combined electrically therewith, externally, in an appropriate manner, a power plane circuit and a ground plane circuit to reduce the power to ground loop inductance and increase the power to ground capacitance of the signal plane circuit, thus reducing circuit noise and switching time and power supply fluctuations in the signal circuits;
• c) having each multilayered series of flexible printed circuits contain a signal trace circuit with a ground plane circuit and a power plane circuit adhesively attached proximate thereto, with selected points on one end of the signal trace circuit being attached, through appropriate openings in the multilayer flexible circuit, to appropriate lead fingers on the lead frame and attached on the other end to selected points on the attached die and with the proximate ground plane circuit and power plane circuit each being attached, through appropriate openings in the multilayer flexible circuits, to appropriate lead fingers on the lead frame and attached on the other end of the signal trace circuit to selected points on the attached die and with the proximate ground plane circuit and power plane circuit each being attached, through appropriate openings in the multilayer flexible circuits, to appropriate lead finger on the lead frame, thus completing a power to signal to ground system for a particular integrated circuit;
• and
• d) encapsulating and trimming and forming the plurality of multilayered series of flexible printed circuits and die and lead frames in proper sequence on other existing equipment and thus completing the improved interconnect method for high speed integrated circuits.
