    Abstract: The present invention stacks integrated circuits (ICs) into modules that conserve PWB or other board surface area. In another aspect, the invention provides a lower capacitance memory expansion addressing system and method and preferably with the CSP stacked modules provided herein. In a preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention, a form standard provides a physical form that allows many of the varying package sizes found in the broad family of CSP packages to be used to advantage while employing a standard connective flex circuitry design. In a preferred embodiment, the form standard will be devised of heat transference material such as copper to improve thermal performance. In a preferred embodiment of the memory addressing system, a high speed switching system selects a data line associated with each level of a stacked module to reduce the loading effect upon data signals in memory access.

    Abstract: Flexible circuitry is populated with integrated circuitry disposed along one or both of its major sides. Contacts distributed along the flexible circuitry provide connection between the module and an application environment. The circuit-populated flexible circuitry is disposed about an edge of a rigid substrate thus placing the integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate with one or two layers of integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate. The substrate form is preferably devised from thermally conductive materials and includes a high thermal conductivity core or area that is disposed proximal to higher thermal energy devices such as an AMB when the flex circuit is brought about the substrate. Other variations include thermally-conductive clips that grasp respective ICs on opposite sides of the module to further shunt heat from the ICs. Preferred extensions from the substrate body or substrate core encourage reduced thermal variations amongst the integrated circuits of the module.

    Abstract: A system and method for selectively stacking and interconnecting individual integrated circuit devices to create a high-density integrated circuit module. In a preferred embodiment, conventional thin small outline packaged (TSOP) memory circuits are vertically stacked one above the other. The constituent IC elements act in concert to provide an assembly of memory capacity approximately equal to the sum of the capacities of the ICs that constitute the assembly. The IC elements of the stack are electrically connected through individual contact members that connect corresponding leads of IC elements positioned adjacently in the stack. In a preferred embodiment, the contact members are composed of lead frame material. Methods for creating stacked integrated circuit modules are provided that provide reasonable cost, mass production techniques to produce modules. In a preferred method, a carrier frame of lead frame material is configured to present an opening into which opening project plural lead-like contact members that correspond to the leads of an IC element. The contact members contact the leads of the lower IC element of the stack while the leads of the upper IC of the assembly contact the upper surfaces of the contact members. The stack is assembled using typical surface mount equipment and, after assembly, the carrier portion of the frame is removed to leave the plurality of contact members in place between selected leads.

    Abstract: Flexible circuitry is populated with integrated circuitry (ICs), and contacts are distributed along the flexible circuitry to provide connection to an application environment. The flexible circuitry is disposed about a rigid substrate, placing the ICs on one or both sides of the substrate with one or more layers of integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate. The substrate is preferably devised from thermally-conductive materials and one or more thermal spreaders are in thermal contact with at least some of the ICs. Optionally, as an additional thermal management feature, the module may include a high thermal conductivity thermal sink or area that is disposed proximal to higher thermal energy IC devices. In preferred embodiments, extensions from the substrate body or substrate core encourage reduced thermal variations amongst the ICs of the module while providing an enlarged surface for shedding thermal energy from the module.
