Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system includes: providing a stack board with a side having a connect contact next to a connect edge and a top contact next to a top edge perpendicular to the connect edge, and a bottom contact on an opposite side; mounting a circuit assembly having an assembly end next to the connect contact and an edge pad over the stack board; connecting the edge pad with the stack board; and applying an edge encapsulant over the connect contact and over the assembly end with the edge encapsulant extending no more than half the width of the stack board.

Claims (89)

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

providing a stack board with a side having a connect contact next to a connect edge and a top contact next to a top edge perpendicular to the connect edge, and a bottom contact on an opposite side;

mounting a circuit assembly having an assembly end next to the connect contact and an edge pad over the stack board;

connecting the edge pad with the stack board; and

applying an edge encapsulant over the connect contact and over the assembly end with the edge encapsulant extending no more than half the width of the stack board.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

forming the circuit assembly includes:

mounting a first die with the edge pad adjacent to the top contact, and

mounting a second die with another of the edge pad with an offset from the top

edge to expose the edge pad of the first die; and

connecting the edge pad of the first die and of the second die with the top contact and another of the top contact respectively.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

applying the edge encapsulant over the connect contact and extended horizontally to the assembly end.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing a second circuit assembly having an assembly end, and an edge pad; and

wherein:

mounting the second circuit assembly with the assembly end next to the connect contact and an offset from the first circuit assembly; and

connecting the edge pad of the second circuit assembly with the connect contact.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing a second stack board; and

wherein:

mounting the second stack board having another of the connect contact with an offset from the connect edge to expose the connect contact of the first stack board; and

connecting the connect contact of the first stack board with the second stack board.

6. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

providing a stack board having connectivity between a side having a connect contact next to a connect edge, having a top contact next to a top edge perpendicular to the connect edge, and an opposite side having a bottom contact;

mounting a circuit assembly having a measured width with an assembly end next to the connect contact and an edge pad facing away from the stack board;

connecting an interconnect between the edge pad and the stack board; and

applying an edge encapsulant over the connect contact and over the assembly end with the edge encapsulant extending no more than half the measured width of the stack board.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

forming the circuit assembly includes:

mounting a first die with the edge pad oriented next to the top contact, and

mounting a second die with another of the edge pad over the first die with a first horizontal offset from the top edge to expose the edge pad of the first die; and

connecting the interconnect between the edge pad of the first die and of the second die with the top contact and another of the top contact respectively.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

applying the edge encapsulant over the connect contact and extended horizontally to and not over the assembly end of the stack package.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

providing a second circuit assembly having an assembly end and an edge pad; and

wherein:

mounting the second circuit assembly with the assembly end next to the connect contact and with a module offset from the assembly end of the first circuit assembly; and

connecting the interconnect between the edge pad and the connect contact.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

providing a second stack board having another of the connect contact; and

wherein:

mounting the second stack board with a horizontal stack offset from the connect edge of the first stack board to expose the connect contact of the first stack board; and

connecting the interconnect between the connect contact of the first stack board and of the second stack board.

11. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

a stack board with a side having a connect contact next to a connect edge and a top contact next to a top edge perpendicular to the connect edge, and a bottom contact on an opposite side;

a circuit assembly having an assembly end mounted next to the connect contact and an edge pad over the stack board;

the edge pad connected with the stack board; and

an edge encapsulant applied over the connect contact and over the assembly end with the edge encapsulant extending no more than half the width of the stack board.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the circuit assembly formed includes:

a first die with the edge pad mounted adjacent to the top contact, and

a second die with another of the edge pad mounted with an offset from the top edge to expose the edge pad of the first die; and

the edge pad of the first die and of the second die connected with the top contact and another of the top contact respectively.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the edge encapsulant applied over the connect contact and extended horizontally to the assembly end.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a second circuit assembly having an assembly end, and an edge pad; and

wherein:

the second circuit assembly mounted with the assembly end next to the connect contact and an offset from the first circuit assembly; and

the edge pad of the second circuit assembly connected with the connect contact.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a second stack board; and

wherein:

the second stack board having another of the connect contact mounted with an offset from the connect edge to expose the connect contact of the first stack board; and

connect contact of the first stack board connected with the second stack board.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:

the stack board having connectivity between the side having the connect contact next to the connect edge, having the top contact next to the top edge perpendicular to the connect edge, and the opposite side having the bottom contact;

the circuit assembly having a measured width with the assembly end mounted next to the connect contact and the edge pad facing away from the stack board;

the edge encapsulant applied over the connect contact and over the assembly end with the edge encapsulant extending no more than half the measured width of the stack board; and

further comprising an interconnect connected between the edge pad and the stack board.
