Abstract:
A multi-chip module, comprising:a carrier substrate including a plurality of electrically conductive circuits disposed thereon; a packaging substrate including a first surface having a recess disposed therein and a plurality of conductive leads coupled thereto, each conductive lead having an inner end proximate the recess and an outer end coupled with a corresponding one of the circuits on the carrier substrate; a first die attached to the packaging substrate within the recess and having a plurality of first bond pads disposed thereon, each first bond pad being electrically coupled to one of the inner ends; and a second die attached to the first die and having a plurality of second bond pads disposed thereon, each second bond pad being electrically coupled to one of the inner ends, the first surface of the packaging substrate being proximate the carrier substrate whereby the packaging substrate at least partially encloses and protects both the first and second die, wherein at least some of the inner ends comprise first contact pads disposed within the recess, each of the first bond pads directly contacting one of the first contact pads.
