Abstract:
A microelectronic assembly (300) or system (1500) includes at least one microelectronic package (100) having a microelectronic element (130) mounted face up above a first surface (108) of a substrate (102), one or more columns (138, 140) of contacts (132) extending in a first direction (142) along the microelectronic element front face. Columns (104A, 105B, 107A, 107B) of terminals (105 107) exposed at a second surface (110) of the substrate extend in the first direction. First terminals (105) exposed at surface (110) in a central region (112) thereof having width (152) not more than three and one-half times a minimum pitch (150) of the columns of terminals can be configured to carry address information usable to determine an addressable memory location.

Abstract:
A microelectronic assembly can be made by forming a redistribution structure supported on a carrier, the structure including two or more layers of deposited dielectric material and two or more electrically conductive layers and including conductive features such as pads and traces electrically interconnected by vias. Electrical connectors may project above a second surface of the structure opposite an interconnection surface of the redistribution structure adjacent to the carrier. A microelectronic element may be attached and electrically connected with conductive features at the second surface, and a dielectric encapsulation can be formed contacting the second surface and surfaces of the microelectronic element. Electrically conductive features at the interconnection surface can be configured for connection with corresponding features of a first external component, and the electrical connectors can be configured for connection with corresponding features of a second external component.
Abstract:
A microelectronic package can include a substrate having first and second opposed surfaces, at least two pairs of microelectronic elements, and a plurality of terminals exposed at the second surface. Each pair of microelectronic elements can include an upper microelectronic element and a lower microelectronic element. The pairs of microelectronic elements can be fully spaced apart from one another in a horizontal direction parallel to the first surface of the substrate. Each lower microelectronic element can have a front surface facing the first surface of the substrate and a plurality of contacts at the front surface. A surface of each of the upper microelectronic elements can at least partially overlie a rear surface of the lower microelectronic element in its pair. The microelectronic package can also include electrical connections extending from at least some of the contacts of each lower microelectronic element to at least some of the terminals.
Abstract:
Apparatuses relating generally to a microelectronic package having protection from interference are disclosed. In an apparatus thereof, a substrate has an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface and has a ground plane. A first microelectronic device is coupled to the upper surface of the substrate. Wire bond wires are coupled to the ground plane for conducting the interference thereto and extending away from the upper surface of the substrate. A first portion of the wire bond wires is positioned to provide a shielding region for the first microelectronic device with respect to the interference. A second portion of the wire bond wires is not positioned to provide the shielding region. A second microelectronic device is coupled to the substrate and located outside of the shielding region. A conductive surface is over the first portion of the wire bond wires for covering the shielding region.

A microelectronic assembly can include a microelectronic package connected with a circuit panel. The package has a microelectronic element having a front face facing away from a substrate of the package, and electrically connected with the substrate through conductive structure extending above the front face. First terminals provided in first and second parallel grids or in first and second individual columns can be configured to carry address information usable to determine an addressable memory location from among all the available addressable memory locations of the memory storage array. The first terminals in the first grid can have signal assignments which are a mirror image of the signal assignments of the first terminals in the second grid.
Abstract:
A chip package has multiple chips that may be arranged side-by-side or in a staggered, stair step arrangement. The contacts of the chips are connected to interconnect pads carried on the chips themselves or on a redistribution substrate. The interconnect pads desirably are arranged in a relatively narrow interconnect zone, such that the interconnect pads can be readily wire-bonded or otherwise connected to a package substrate.
