Abstract:
A semiconductor device assembly, comprising:a first semiconductor device including a first active surface bearing a plurality of contact pads, a peripheral edge, and a first back side opposite said first active surface; a second semiconductor device including a second active surface bearing a plurality of contact pads, a peripheral edge, and a second back side opposite said second active surface, said second back side secured to said first back side, said peripheral edges of said first and second semiconductor devices defining a mutual peripheral edge of the semiconductor device assembly, each contact pad of said pluralities of contact pads of said first and second semiconductor devices being disposed adjacent a single mutual peripheral edge of the semiconductor device assembly so as to facilitate mounting of the semiconductor device assembly in nonparallel relation to a carrier substrate, and at least one support joint positionable between at least one contact pad of said plurality of contact pads of at least one of said first and second semiconductor devices and a corresponding contact on the carrier substrate for interconnecting at least one of said first and second semiconductor devices to the carrier substrate, wherein at least one solder bump is disposed on at least one said contact pad for electrically connecting at least said first and second semiconductor devices to at least one said support joint.
