Abstract

An assembly featuring a substrate and a plurality of components. The plurality of components are packaged to be connected in a vertical orientation to the substrate. These components include (i) a vertical chip-scale package (CSP), (ii) an integrated circuit die and (iii) an interconnect. Including a plurality of connection leads, the vertical CSP contains the die which is generally situated along a vertical plane. The interconnect, capable of transferring information between the plurality of connection leads and the integrated circuit die, includes a first segment generally perpendicular to the vertical plane and connected to at least one connection lead. The interconnect further includes a second segment generally in parallel to the vertical plane and connected to the integrated circuit die.
