    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: The present invention stacks chip scale-packaged integrated circuits (CSPs) into modules that conserve PWB or other board surface area. In a two-high CSP stack or module devised in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two CSPs are stacked, with one CSP disposed above the other. The two CSPs are connected with flex circuitry. A form standard is disposed between the flex circuitry and a CSP in the stack. The form standard can take many configurations and may be used where flex circuits are used to connect CSPs to one another in stacked modules having two or more constituent CSPs. For example, in stacked modules that include four CSPs, three form standards are employed in preferred embodiments, although fewer may be used. The form standard provides a thermally conductive physical form that allows many of the varying package sizes found in the broad family of CSP packages to be used to advantage while employing a standard connective flex circuitry design.

    Abstract: The present invention stacks integrated circuit packages into circuit modules. In a preferred embodiment, solder paste and primary adhesive respectively are applied to selected locations on the flex circuitry. Supplemental adhesive is applied to add ional locations on the flex circuitry, CSP, or other component. The flex circuitry and the CSP are brought into proximity with each other. During solder reflow operation, a force is applied and the CSP collapses toward the flex circuitry, displacing the primary adhesive and the supplemental adhesive. The supplemental adhesive establishes a bond providing additional support to the flex circuitry. In another embodiment, CSPs or other integrated circuit packages are bonded to each other or to other components with a combination of adhesives. A rapid bond adhesive maintains alignment of the bonded packages and/or components during assembly, and a structural bond adhesive provides additional strength and/or structural integrity to the bond.

    Abstract: A circuit module includes a printed circuit board (PCB) (12) having a first side (22), a second side (24), and a bottom perimeter edge (42). The PCB exhibits a first thickness along the bottom perimeter edge. The first side includes a recessed area (70) and, in that recessed area, the PCB has a second thickness that is less than the first thickness. A plurality of integrated circuits (ICs) are fixed to the PCB in the recessed area. A plurality of module contacts (30) are connected to the ICs and are disposed along at least one of the first and second sides and are configured to provide electrical connection between the circuit module and an edge connector.
