Abstract

A three-dimensional semiconductor module and an electronic system including the same are provided. The semiconductor module includes a module substrate, a logic device formed on a part of the module substrate, and a plurality of memory devices formed on another part of the module substrate, wherein the plurality of memory devices are disposed perpendicular to the logic device, and the module substrate on which the plurality of memory devices are formed is supported by a supporter. The electronic system includes the semiconductor module.

Claims (30)

1. A semiconductor module to connect to a main circuit board of an electronic system, comprising:

a module substrate;

a logic device formed on a part of the module substrate, wherein the logic device comprises:

a package substrate;

a logic chip mounted on the package substrate; and

a package lid configured to cover the logic chip and formed on the package substrate, wherein the package lid comprises:

an insulating lower portion; and

a metallic upper portion; and

a plurality of memory devices formed on another part of the module substrate,

wherein the another part of the module substrate is perpendicular to the part of the module substrate,

wherein the plurality of memory devices are disposed perpendicular to the logic device, and the module substrate on which the plurality of memory devices are formed is supported by a supporter, and

wherein the module substrate is disposed on at least a first surface and a second surface of the supporter.

2. The module of claim 1 , further comprising:

a heat transfer device mounted on the logic device.

3. The module of claim 2 , wherein the supporter includes a metal, and is at least partially in physical contact with the heat transfer device.

4. The module of claim 1 , wherein the memory devices are formed on a first surface and a second surface of the module substrate.

5. The module of claim 1 , wherein the supporter has an end portion that is bent at a right angle.

6. The module of claim 1 , wherein the supporter comprises:

a flat plate having at least one surface formed in a concavo-convex shape.

7. The module of claim 1 , wherein the supporter includes a pillar that is disposed in a first or second direction.

8. The module of claim 1 , wherein the memory devices are disposed on at least two sides of the module substrate and are respectively spaced from at least two surfaces of the logic device.

9. The module of claim 1 , wherein the logic device is in physical contact with the supporter.

10. A semiconductor module to connect to a main circuit board of an electronic system comprising:

a module substrate;

a logic device formed on a part of the module substrate; and

a plurality of memory devices formed on another part of the module substrate,

wherein the another part of the module substrate is perpendicular to the part of the module substrate, and

wherein the plurality of memory devices are disposed perpendicular to the logic device, and the module substrate on which the plurality of memory devices are formed is supported by a supporter,

wherein the module substrate is disposed on at least a first surface and a second surface of the supporter.

11. The module of claim 10 , wherein the memory devices are formed on the same surface of the module substrate.
