Abstract

An integrated circuit package system including a plurality of substrates and a plurality of semiconductor devices formed on each of the substrates. An edge connection system is provided and an electrical edge connector on each of the substrates is for attachment to the edge connection system. A vertically stacked configuration of the substrates is formed by attaching the substrates to the edge connection system.

Claims (54)

1. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit package system comprising:

providing a plurality of substrates;
