Abstract

A high density electronic package is disclosed in which a stack of layer-like sub-modules have their edges secured to a stack-carrying substrate, the latter being in a plane perpendicular to the planes in which the sub-modules extend. Each sub-module has a cavity, inside which one or more IC chips are located. Each cavity-providing sub-module may be formed either by securing a rectangular frame to a chip-carrying substrate, or by etching a cavity in a single piece of material. In the latter case, the chips are mounted on the flat surface of one sub-module, and located inside the cavity of the next sub-module.
