An electronic device and coupled flexible circuit board and method of
manufacturing. The electronic device is coupled to the flexible circuit
board by a plurality of Z-interconnections. The electronic device includes
a substrate with electronic components coupled to it. The substrate also
has a plurality of device electrical contacts coupled to its back surface
that are electrically coupled to the electronic components. The flexible
circuit board includes a flexible substrate having a front surface and a
back surface and a plurality of circuit board electrical contacts coupled
to the front surface of the flexible substrate. The plurality of circuit
board electrical contacts correspond to plurality of device electrical
contacts. Each Z-interconnection is electrically and mechanically coupled
to one device electrical contact and a corresponding circuit board
electrical contact.
