Abstract

A semiconductor multi-package module has stacked lower and upper packages, each package including a die attached to a substrate, in which the upper and lower substrates are interconnected by wire bonding, and in which the upper package is inverted. Also, a method for making a semiconductor multi-package module, by providing a lower molded package including a lower substrate and a die, affixing an upper molded package including an upper substrate in inverted orientation onto the upper surface of the lower package, and forming z-interconnects between the upper and lower substrates.

Claims (11)

1. A multi-package module comprising stacked lower and upper packages, each said package including a die attached to a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a dielectric layer and a pattern patterned metal layer, wherein the upper package is inverted and wherein the upper and lower substrates are interconnected by wire bonding wherein at least one said package is a ball grid array package.

2. The multipackage module of claim 1 wherein at least one said package has wire bond interconnect of the die with the substrate.

3. The multipackage module of claim 1 wherein at least one said package has wire bond interconnect of the die with the substrate, and wherein the said package is fully encapsulated.

4. The multipackage module of claim 1 wherein at least one said package is a land grid array package.

5. The multipackage module of claim 1 wherein at least one said package has flip chip interconnect of the die with the substrate.

6. The multipackage module of claim 1 , further comprising a heat spreader.

7. The multipackage module of claim 1 , further comprising an electromagnetic shield for at least one of the packages.

8. A computer including a multi-package module, comprising the multi-package module having stacked lower and inverted upper packages of claim 1 , said multi-package module being connected to underlying circuitry in the computer.

9. A consumer electronics device including a multi-package module, comprising the multi-package module having stacked lower and inverted upper packages of claim 1 , said multi-package module being connected to underlying circuitry in the consumer electronics device.

10. A portable telecommunications device including a multi-package module, comprising the multi-package module having stacked lower and inverted upper packages of claim 1 , said multi-package module being connected to underlying circuitry in the portable telecommunications device.

11. A multi-package module comprising stacked lower and upper packages, each said package including a die attached to a substrate, wherein the upper package is inverted and wherein the upper and lower substrates are interconnected by wire bonding, comprising a third package stacked over the upper package.
