Abstract
Abstract The present invention is directed to an interconnect tape for TAB and electronic packages made from the tape. A heat dissipating pad positioned over the electrically active face of an electronic device transfers heat from the device to the electronic package or to an external heatsink. The tape leads, the heat dissipating pad and the support members for the heat dissipating pad are all formed from the same electrically conductive strip.
