Patent ID: 8675371

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a chip carrier comprising a package cap and a package base, wherein the chip carrier houses integrated circuit dice arranged facing one another; a first integrated circuit die disposed within the chip carrier, the first die having: a surface with first electrical connections to electronic circuitry within the first integrated circuit die facing away from the package cap; a base of the first integrated circuit die facing towards the package cap; and edges, wherein the first electrical connections comprise a first set of one or more connection pads, and wherein each connection pad enables at least one of communication to or from the first die; a second integrated circuit die disposed within the chip carrier, the second die having: a surface with second electrical connections to electronic circuitry within the second integrated circuit die facing away from the package base; a base of the second integrated circuit die facing towards the package base; and edges, wherein the second electrical connections comprise a second set of one or more connection pads, wherein each connection pad enables at least one of communication to or from the second die, and wherein the surface of the second die including the second set of one or more connection pads is arranged to face the surface of the first die including the first set of one or more connection pads; and a first solder ball coupling at least one connection pad of the first set of one or more connection pads to one or more corresponding connection pads of the second set of one or more connection pads.
