Abstract:
A high density electrical circuit module comprising:a printed circuit board having a substantially planar top surface for connection to external devices; and at least one said external device in the form of an integrated circuit package having a major surface and side minor surfaces extending from said major surface, at least one of said side surfaces having electrical side surface terminals thereon in intimate contact with and electrically connected to said printed circuit board at said top surface; wherein said module further comprises one or more integrated circuit packages electrically connected to said circuit board at the side surface terminals of said integrated circuit packages; wherein said integrated circuit packages comprise: a carrier having an opening and a side surface, and at least three routing strips being integral with said carrier and extending into said opening; at least three terminals disposed on said side surface, said at least three terminals disposed on said side surface being electrically connected with at least three of said routing strips; a chip adhered to said carrier, said chip having at least three bonding pads; wire bonding electrically connecting said at lest three bonding pads to said at least three routing strips; and potting material filling said opening.
