Patent ID: 7408255

Claim:
A densely stacked component assembly having at least a component mounted on a first substrate and at least another component mounted on a second substrate, the densely stacked component assembly comprising: a plurality of first substrates, each first substrate of the plurality of first substrates having a first side, a second side, an aperture therethrough, at least one circuit having a portion located on the first side and on the second side thereof, and a plurality of connection areas on the first side thereof; a plurality of components, each component of the plurality having an active surface and a plurality of bond pads thereon, at least a portion of the active surface of each component secured to the first side of a first substrate of the plurality of first substrates, a wire extending through the aperture in the first substrate of the plurality of first substrates and connected to the portion of the at least one circuit on the second side of the first substrate and at least one bond pad of the plurality of bond pads on the active surface of a component of the plurality of components; a second substrate having a first side, a second side, and at least two circuits on the first side, one of the at least two circuits connected to the portion of the at least one circuit on the second side of the first substrate of the plurality of first substrates; at least one connection between the at least one circuit on the first substrate of the plurality of first substrates and the one of the at least two circuits of the second substrate; a jumper board having a first side, a second side, and at least one circuit thereon; a connection between one of the plurality of connection areas on the first side of the first substrate of the plurality of first substrates and the at least one circuit of the jumper board; and an electrical component connected to a circuit of the at least two circuits on the first side of the second substrate.
