Abstract

A low profile multi-IC chip package for high speed application comprises a connector for electrically connecting the equivalent outer leads of a set of stacked primary semiconductor packages. In one embodiment, the connector comprises a two-part sheet of flexible insulative polymer with busses formed on one side. In another embodiment, the connector comprises multiple busses formed from conductive polymer. In further embodiments, the primary packages are stacked within a cage and have their outer leads in unattached contact with busses within the cage, or, alternatively, are directly fixed to leads or pads on the host circuit board.
