Patent ID: 7635642

Claim:
A method of forming an integrated circuit package, the method comprising: (i) providing an array of first electric contacts; (ii) locating a first integrated circuit having a surface including second electric contacts with the surface facing the array of first electric contacts, and bonding the second electric contacts to respective ones of the first electric contacts, wherein the first integrated circuit comprises a flip chip; (iii) mounting a second integrated circuit on a face of the first integrated circuit which faces away from the array such that the first and second integrated circuits are joined together, the second integrated circuit including third electric contacts on a surface facing away from the first integrated circuit; (iv) forming wire bonds between respective first electric contacts and respective third electric contacts; (v) forming a resin body enclosing the first and second integrated circuits and the wire bonds; and (vi) via the first electric contacts, providing ends of electrical paths extending perpendicular to the surface of the first integrated circuit at least to a surface of the integrated circuit package.
