Abstract
A semiconductor package includes a processor die (e.g., an SoC) and one or more memory die (e.g., DRAM) coupled to a ball grid array (BGA) substrate. The processor die and the memory die are coupled to opposite sides of the BGA substrate using terminals (e.g., solder balls). The package may be coupled to a printed circuit board (PCB) using one or more terminals positioned around the perimeter of the processor die. The PCB may include a recess with at least part of the processor die being positioned in the recess. Positioning at least part of the processor die in the recess reduces the overall height of the semiconductor package assembly. A voltage regulator may also be coupled to the BGA substrate on the same side as the processor die with at least part of the voltage regulator being positioned in the recess a few millimeters from the processor die.
