    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a packaging technology which reduces an increase in packaging volume accompanied by an increase in capacity. SOLUTION: Each flexible circuit is arranged with integrated circuits (ICs) disposed along one or both of its major sides, and bent around the edge of a rigid thermally-conductive substrate, thus placing ICs on one or both sides of the substrate with one or two layers of ICs on one or both sides of the substrate. On the side of the flexible circuit closest to the substrate, ICs are disposed at least partially in places which are windows, pockets, or cutaway areas in the substrate. The substrate material can be removed to reduce a module profile. An extension of the substrate reduces a thermal module load and encourages reduction in thermal variation among the ICs of the module during operation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    解决方案:每个柔性电路布置有沿着其主要侧面中的一个或两个侧面设置的集成电路(IC),并且围绕刚性导热基板的边缘弯曲,从而将IC放置在基板的一侧或两侧 在衬底的一侧或两侧上具有一层或两层IC。 在靠近基板的柔性电路的一侧,IC至少部分地设置在基板中的窗口,凹穴或切口区域的位置。 可以去除衬底材料以减少模块轮廓。 衬底的延伸减少了热模块的负载,并且有助于在操作期间模块的IC之间的热变化减小。 版权所有(C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: The present invention stacks chip scale-packaged integrated circuits (CSPs) into modules that conserve board surface area. In a two-high CSP stack or module (10) devised in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pair of CSPs (12, 14) is stacked, with one CSP (12) above the other (14). The two CSPs are connected with a pair of flexible circuit structures (30, 32). Each of the pair of flexible circuit structures (30, 32) is partially wrapped about a respective opposite lateral edge (20, 22) of the lower CSP (14) of the module (10). The flex circuit pair (30, 32) connects the upper and lower CSPs (12, 14) and provides a thermal and electrical path connection path between the module (10) and an application environment such as a printed wiring board (PWB). The present invention may be employed to advantage in numerous configurations and combinations of CSPs in modules provided for high-density memories or high capacity computing.

    Abstract: A circuit module comprises a rigid, preferably thermally conductive, substrate 14, a flexible circuit 12 wrapped around an edge of the substrate, a plurality of chip scale packages (CSPs) attached to the flexible circuit and expansion board contacts 20 formed on the flexible circuit adjacent to the edge. The CSPs may be standard memory modules and are connected to the contacts 20 by means of conductive traces in the flexible circuit 16. The contacts 20 are arranged so that the circuit module may be plugged at its edge into a standard circuit board expansion slot in e.g. a computer. The substrate may assist in heat dissipation from the attached CSPs.
