Patent ID: 7276785

Claim:
An electronic module, comprising: at least two vertically staggered component layers, each component layer comprising: a component comprising at least one or more of: a semiconductor component a semiconductor chip and a passive component; contact bumps on said component and bonding wire connections that connect to said contact bumps at one end, wherein said bonding wire connections comprise an upper bend section; an encapsulation material that embeds said at least one component, said contact bumps and said wire bonding connections in such a manner so as to leave a portion of the bonding wire connections uncovered at regions on a surface of the component layer; and an interconnect disposed on the surface of the component layer in a two-dimensional pattern and making electrical contact with said wire bonding connections at said regions, wherein said interconnect projects upwards into an adjoining component layer to make electrical connection with said adjoining component layer; wherein said upper bend section of the wire bonding connections corresponds to the portion of the bonding wire connections that are uncovered at said regions and which make electrical connection to an interconnect of the corresponding component layer.
