Abstract:
1. A microelectronic assembly, comprising: a first microelectronic element and a second microelectronic element, each of the first and second microelectronic elements having a front face, a rear face remote from the front face, a first edge extending between the front and rear faces, a second edge extending between the front and rear faces and being remote from the first edge, and a plurality of spaced apart traces extending along the front face and beyond at least the first edge, wherein a front face of the second microelectronic element overlies one of the front or rear faces of the first microelectronic element; an insulating region contacting the first and second edges of the first and second microelectronic elements and at least portions of the traces of the first and second microelectronic elements extending beyond the respective first edges, the insulating region defining first and second side surfaces adjacent the first and second edges of each of the first and second microelectronic elements, the microelectronic assembly further including a plurality of spaced apart openings extending along a side surface selected from the first and second side surfaces; and a plurality of electrical conductors each having at least a portion disposed in a respective opening of the plurality of openings and extending along the respective openings, the electrical conductors being electrically connected with respective ones of the traces of at least one of the first and second microelectronic elements.
