Connector module for integrated circuit device, and integrated circuit device suitable for use with the same

Abstract

A connector module to be connected to an integrated circuit device having rear electrodes provided on a back surface thereof facing away from a wiring board. The connector module includes: a connector having contacts to be electrically connected to the rear electrodes; and a fixture structure for fixing the connector to the integrated circuit device.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A connector module to be connected to an integrated circuit device having rear electrodes provided on a back surface thereof facing away from a wiring board, the connector module comprising: 
 a connector having contacts to be electrically connected to the rear electrodes; and    a fixture structure for fixing the connector to the integrated circuit device.    
     
     
         2 . A connector module as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a wiring member connected to the connector.  
     
     
         3 . A connector module as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the wiring member has a pseudo-coaxial structure.  
     
     
         4 . A connector module as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the fixture structure comprises a connection block which is fixable to the back surface of the integrated circuit device and engageable with the connector.  
     
     
         5 . A connector module as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the fixture structure further comprises a lock mechanism for keeping the connector and the connection block in engagement with each other.  
     
     
         6 . A connector module as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein the connection block incorporates a cooling mechanism for cooling the integrated circuit device.  
     
     
         7 . A connector module attached integrated circuit device, comprising: 
 an integrated circuit device body having rear electrodes provided on a back surface thereof facing away from a wiring board; and    a connector module comprising a connector having contacts to be electrically connected to the rear electrodes, and a fixture structure for fixing the connector to the integrated circuit device body.    
     
     
         8 . An integrated circuit device as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein the rear electrodes are electrodes through which signals having a frequency of not lower than 50 MHz are inputted or outputted.  
     
     
         9 . An integrated circuit device comprising: 
 an integrated circuit device body having rear electrodes provided on a back surface thereof facing away from a wiring board; and    a connection block fixed to the back surface of the integrated circuit device body for engagement with a connector having contacts to be electrically connected to the rear electrodes.
