A multi-chip electronic package which utilizes an organic, laminate chip
carrier and a pair of semiconductor chips positioned on an upper surface
of the carrier in a stacked orientation. The organic, laminate chip
carrier is comprised of a plurality of conductive planes and dielectric
layers and couples one or both of the chips to underlying conductors on
the bottom surface thereof. The carrier may include a high-speed portion
to assure high-frequency connection between the semiconductor chips and
may also include an internal capacitor and/or thermally conductive member
for enhanced operational capabilities. The first chip, e.g., an ASIC
chip, is solder bonded to the carrier while the second chip, e.g., a
memory chip, is secured to the first chip's upper surface and coupled to
the carrier using a plurality of wirebond connections.
