A memory card structure comprising a substrate, a plurality of memory
chips, some molding compound and an ultra-thin plastic shell is provided.
To fabricate the memory card, a substrate having a first surface and a
second surface is provided. The first surface has a plurality of outer
contacts and the second surface has a cavity and a plurality of inner
contacts around the cavity. The outer contacts and the inner contacts are
electrically connected to each other. The memory chips are stacked up in
the same area inside the cavity. Furthermore, the memory chips are
electrically connected to the inner contacts. Then, the memory chips and
the inner contacts are encapsulated. Thereafter, the ultra-thin plastic
shell is placed over the second surface and attached to the substrate.
That portion of the ultra-thin plastic shell covering the memory chips
has a thickness of about 0.1.about.0.4 mm.
