摘要:
An IC system includes low-power chips, e.g., memory chips, located proximate one or more higher power chips, e.g., logic chips, without suffering the effects of overheating. The IC system may include a high-power chip disposed on a packaging substrate and a low-power chip embedded in the packaging substrate to form a stack. Because portions of the packaging substrate thermally insulate the low-power chip from the high-power chip, the low-power chip can be embedded in the IC system in close proximity to the high-power chip without being over heated by the high-power chip. Such close proximity between the low-power chip and the high-power chip advantageously shortens the path length of interconnects therebetween, which improves device performance and reduces interconnect parasitics in the IC system.

In one embodiment, an electronic memory module may be provided to couple two or more stacked memory dies. The memory module may include a first substrate that couples the first memory die in a flip chip configuration. The substrate also includes connectors to couple to a second substrate, which has a flip chip connection to a second memory die. A surface of the first substrate opposite the flip chip connection of the first memory die may include connectors to couple to the first memory die (through the first substrate) and may include connectors to couple to the second memory die (through the connectors that couple to the second substrate, and through the first substrate.
摘要:
Semiconductor device modules having two or more integrated circuit dies mounted on opposing sides of a substrate. The integrated circuit dies are mounted by use of surface mount connections, such as flip chip connections implemented using conductive bumps. Systems may include one or more of the present semiconductor device modules, and in some cases may also include other modules, such as a system module.
