Abstract

A microelectronic package can include a substrate and a microelectronic element having a rear face facing a first surface of the substrate, a front face, and a column of element contacts extending in a first direction. The microelectronic element can include stacked electrically interconnected semiconductor chips. Edges of the microelectronic element can define an axial plane extending in the first direction and a third direction normal to the rear face. The package can include columns of terminals extending in the first direction at a second surface of the substrate. The terminals can include first terminals exposed in a central region of the second surface and configured to carry address information usable by circuitry within the package to determine an addressable memory location. The central region may have a width not more than 3.5 times a minimum pitch between adjacent terminal columns. The axial plane can intersect the central region.
