An integrated circuit package assembly formed by stacking flip-chip
mounted substrates interleaved with precisely dimensioned spacers and
then bonded by injection molding the stack. The sides of the stack are
sawed off to expose vias in the substrates, and multilevel-interconnect
substrates are precisely aligned on the sides of the stack. Solder pads
on the interconnect substrates are reflowed to form a solder connection
to the exposed vias, allowing complex interconnection between diverse
points along the edge connectors of each substrate. In one embodiment,
solder balls are reflowed on ball-grid-array pads at the top of the stack
to provide external electrical connections.
