Patent ID: 7446403

Claim:
A circuit module comprised of: a first packaged integrated circuit and a second packaged integrated circuit, each of the first and second packaged integrated circuits having a peripheral wall and leads emergent from first and second sides of said peripheral wall, selected leads each having a shoulder and foot, the shoulders each having a head; and a first carrier structure comprising: plural first and second connective elements, the first and second connective elements being respectively disposed along first and second surfaces of the first carrier structure, the first connective elements being disposed adjacent to feet of selected leads emergent from the first side of the peripheral wall of the first packaged integrated circuit and the second substantially planar surface of the first carrier structure being disposed along the heads of selected leads emergent from the first side of the peripheral wall of the second packaged integrated circuit; plural first conductive transits each connecting a selected one of the plural first connective elements with a corresponding one of the plural second connective elements; a second conductive transit connected to a selected one of the plural first connective elements and to a first capture pad that is disposed along the second surface of the first carrier structure; second and third capture pads disposed along a first internal layer of the first carrier structure, each of said second and third capture pads connected to a selected one of the first conductive transits or to the second conductive transit; fourth and fifth capture pads disposed along a second internal layer of the first carrier structure, each of said fourth and fifth capture pads connected to a selected one of the first conductive transits or to the second conductive transit; a first electrical interconnection between the second and third capture pads, said first electrical interconnections being disposed along the first internal layer of the first carrier structure; and a second electrical interconnection between the fourth and fifth capture pads, said second electrical interconnections being disposed along the second internal layer of the first carrier structure.
