Patent ID: 8597984

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a modular semiconductor subassembly, comprising: providing at least one semiconductor subassembly, the semiconductor subassembly having a modular sidewall element of modular dimensions that accommodates placement of the semiconductor subassembly in a modular layout and a semiconductor substrate base element coupled to the modular sidewall element that has at least one semiconductor element with a layout sized to be accommodated by modular dimensions of the modular sidewall element; if a modular package protective cover to be used: providing the modular package protective cover configured to accommodate the at least one semiconductor subassembly in accordance with a modular design; securing the at least one semiconductor subassembly in the modular package protective cover to create a modular package assembly; and mounting the modular package assembly to a core, with a base side of each of the at least one semiconductor substrate base element in contact with the core otherwise: mounting the at least one semiconductor subassembly to the core, with the base side of the semiconductor substrate base element in contact with the core.
