1. An integrated circuit device comprising:
- a dielectric body, and a metallized layer including an integrated circuit mounted over the dielectric body;
a plurality of electrically conductive elongate contacts mounted with respect to the dielectric body, in electrical communication with said integrated circuit, and extending away from said dielectric body in a first direction; and
a plurality of electrically conductive conduit members mounted with respect to said dielectric body and extending in said first direction, each of said conduit members positioned in spaced apart and surrounding relation to an associated one of said elongate contacts;
said conduit members being interconnected to form a unitary grid in which said conduit members form a pattern corresponding to the pattern formed by said elongated contacts.

Abstract
An interconnecting grid is disclosed for joining integrated circuit components. The grid has the form of a honeycomb, and is made up of a plurality of interconnected hexagonal conduits, each conduit surrounding an associated pin extended from the integrated circuit component. Each conduit surrounds its associated pin to protect the pin from mechanical damage and isolate the pin from signals emitted by neighboring pins and other extraneous noise. The grid further functions as a heat sink for the removal of heat from the integrated circuit component.

18. An integrated circuit device including:
-
an integrated circuit chip having a substantially flat top surface and a substantially flat bottom surface; a plurality of elongate, conductive first contacts mounted to said integrated circuit chip and extended away from said bottom surface in a first direction; and
a plurality of elongate, conductive second contacts mounted to said integrated circuit chip and extended away from said top surface in a second direction;a first unitary grid comprising a plurality of conductive first conduit members mounted to said integrated circuit chip and extended away from said bottom surface in said first direction, each of said first conduit members surrounding an associated one of said first contacts and spaced apart from said associated contact a predetermined distance to determine a selected characteristic impedance in said associated first contact; and a second unitary grid comprising a plurality of conductive second conduit members mounted to said integrated circuit chip and extended away from said top surface in said second direction, each of said second conduit members surrounding an associated one of said second contacts and spaced apart from said associated second contact a predetermined distance to determine a selected characteristic impedance in said associated second contact. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
