Abstract:
A multi-chip module is disclosed in which a first die connects to a second set of die via a set of C4 connections within a single package. Low resistivity signal posts are provided within the lateral separation between adjacent die in the second set of die. These signal posts are connectable to externally supplied power signals. The power signals provided to the signals posts are routed to circuits within the second set of die over relatively short metallization interconnects. The signal posts may be connected to thermally conductive via elements and the package may include heat spreaders on upper and lower package surfaces. The first die may comprise a DRAM while the second set of die comprise portions of a general purpose microprocessor. The power signals provided to the second set of die may be connected to a capacitor terminal in the first die to provide power signal decoupling.
