Abstract:
1. A stacked IC module comprising: (a) first and second leaded packages in stacked disposition, each of the first and second leaded packages having plural leads emergent along at least one side of each of the respective leaded packages; (b) a flexible circuit disposed in part between the first and second leaded packages, the flexible circuit presenting plural contact areas maintained in a spaced-apart relation and which are a part of a contiguous connection field of the flexible circuit, each of which plural contact areas being connected to respective ones of the plural leads emergent along at least one side of the first and second packages so as to effectuate selective connections between the first and second leaded packages without employment of discrete distal ends of flexible circuit conductors, in which the flexible circuit is comprised of at least two layers, one of the at least two layers being comprised of a conductive material and another of the at least two layers being comprised of dielectric.
