Abstract:
A module including a plurality of semiconductor devices in stacked arrangement comprising:a first function level comprising: a first semiconductor device including a first pattern of outer connectors exposed at a peripheral edge thereof; and a carrier substrate underlying the first semiconductor device and including conductive sites arranged correspondingly to the first pattern and electrically connected thereto; a second function level comprising: a second semiconductor device including a second pattern of outer connectors exposed at a peripheral edge thereof; and a first intermediate substrate underlying the second semiconductor device and at least partially overlying the first semiconductor device the first intermediate substrate including conductive connectors, at least some of which are arranged in a third pattern and positioned along a peripheral edge of the first intermediate substrate the third pattern conforming at least partially to the first pattern; and others of which conductive connectors are arranged in a fourth pattern and positioned along a peripheral edge of the first intermediate substrate, the fourth pattern conforming at least partially to the second pattern, conductive connectors of the first intermediate substrate being electrically connected to corresponding outer connectors of the first and second patterns.
