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

mounting a second integrated circuit on the substrate adjacent to the integrated circuit; and

electrically connecting the second integrated circuit to the interposer including electrically connecting the integrated circuit to the second integrated circuit through the interposer.

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

securing a second upper die on the interposer including electrically connecting the second upper die to the interposer;

coupling an integrated passive device to the interposer includes electrically connecting the integrated passive device to the upper die, the second upper die, the bond pad, or a combination thereof; and

electrically connecting the upper die, the second upper die, the integrated passive device, or a combination thereof to the integrated circuit includes bonding the electrical interconnect between the bond pad and the integrated circuit.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 wherein coupling the integrated circuit to the upper die includes connecting the electrical interconnect to the bond pad on the interposer.

9. An integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

an interposer having a coupling slot;
