    摘要: A ball grid array (BGA) package test module includes BGA packages, a module board, and test architecture for use in testing the BGA packages while they are mounted to the module board. The test architecture of the BGA package test module includes package test signal lines connected to solder balls of the BGA packages as extending along a bottom surface of the BGA packages, board test signal lines extending along the module board, and electrical junctions that interconnect the package and board test signal lines. Signals from the BGA packages can be picked up by the probe of a testing apparatus via the board test signal lines. The present invention is advantageous in that it minimizes the effect of stubbing by the test signal lines when the memory module is operating.

    摘要: A memory module includes a first set of at least one first type of memory device and a second set of at least one second type of memory device having a higher capacity than the first type. In addition, an additional capacity portion of the first and second sets stores information for an additional function of the memory module, and a remaining capacity portion of the first and second sets forms a rank of the memory module. The memory module avoids an asymmetric topology of signal lines and yet provides additional memory capacity.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a stacked board-on-chip (BOC) package having a mirroring structure and a dual inline memory module (DIMM) on which the stacked BOC package is mounted. A bottom surface of a first semiconductor chip faces a bottom surface of a second semiconductor chip. An interposer electrically connects first and second packages, respectively comprising the first and second semiconductor chips, to each other. The DIMM is obtained by electrically connecting BOC packages to each other on upper and lower substrates of a printed circuit board. Since a height of the stacked BOC packages is greater than a height of a conventional stacked BOC package, the DIMM has a minimum stub length and an optimal topology. Hence, the DIMM can have a signal with excellent fidelity by reducing a load upon a signal line, and installation or wiring of components within the DIMM 300 requires less effort.

    摘要: Multi-chip package includes first through Nth semiconductor chips, each of which includes an input/output pad, an input/output driver coupled to the input/output pad, and an internal circuit. Each of the first through Nth semiconductor chips includes an internal pad for coupling the internal input/output driver and the internal circuit. The internal pads of the first through Nth semiconductor chips are coupled to each other such as via a common pad installed at a substrate. The input/output pad of the first semiconductor chip directly receives an input/output signal transmitted via a corresponding pin of the multi-chip package. The second through Nth semiconductor chips indirectly receive the input/output signal via the internal pads coupled to each other. The multi-chip package can improve signal compatibility by maintaining a parasitic load of a pin to at least the level of a single chip, when a signal is transmitted to the pin at high speed. Also, when a signal that is not necessarily transmitted at high speed is applied to a pin, semiconductor chips can be packaged according to the preexisting methods.
