Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit (IC) package, comprising: an IC die having opposing first and second surfaces and having a plurality of contact pads located on the first surface of the IC die; a substrate having opposing first and second surfaces, wherein the second surface of the IC die is coupled to the first surface of the substrate; a plurality of interconnect members attached to the plurality of contact pads; a plurality of conductive elements coupled to the second surface of the substrate and coupled through the substrate to the IC die; and an encapsulating material that encapsulates the IC die and the plurality of interconnect members, wherein each interconnect member of the plurality of interconnect members is configured to physically contact a respective conductive element of a second IC package, the respective conductive element of the second IC package being attached to a substrate of the second IC package, wherein a gap is present between an outer surface of the encapsulation material and a surface of the substrate of the second IC package, and wherein the second IC package is entirely contained in a footprint of the IC die.
