A three-dimensional package consisting of a plurality of folded integrated
circuit chips (100, 110, 120) is described wherein at least one chip
provides interconnect pathways for electrical connection to additional
chips of the stack, and at least one chip (130) is provided with
additional interconnect wiring to a substrate (500), package or printed
circuit board. Further described, is a method of providing a flexible
arrangement of interconnected chips that are folded over into a
three-dimensional arrangements to consume less aerial space when mounted
on a substrate, second-level package or printed circuit board.
