Abstract:
1. A combination comprising: a first chip package unit stacked on a second chip package unit, each of the first and second chip package units comprising: a substrate having a first surface, a second surface, a chip package electrically connected to the first surface, and a plurality of bonding pads formed on the first and second surfaces, wherein a center of the first surface of the substrate of the first chip package unit defines a stepped recess portion, such that the substrate of the first chip package unit comprises a horizontal main body and two opposite side walls extending perpendicularly from the main body, with each of the side walls defining an outer high portion and an inner low step, the chip package of the first chip package unit being received between the inner low steps, and the bonding pads of the first surface of the substrate of the first chip package unit being located on the outer high portions and the inner low steps, the substrate of the second chip package unit comprises a horizontal main body and two opposite side walls extending perpendicularly from the main body, each of the side walls defines an inner high portion and an outer low step, and the bonding pads of the first surface of the substrate of the second chip package unit are located on the inner high portions and the outer low steps, the bonding pads on the first surface of the first chip package unit are respectively electrically connected with the bonding pads on the first surface of the second chip package unit, with the bonding pads of the outer high portions of the first surface of the substrate of the first chip package unit being electrically connected with the bonding pads of the outer low steps of the first surface of the substrate of the second chip package unit, and the bonding pads of the inner low steps of the first surface of the substrate of the first chip package unit being electrically connected with the bonding pads of the inner high portions of the first surface of the substrate of the second chip package unit, and the chip packages electrically connected to the first surfaces are enclosed by the substrates, and the bonding pads on the second surfaces of the substrates of the first and second chip package units are configured as interface terminals of the combination.
