Memory module flex circuitry is devised to accommodate packaged integrated
circuit devices (ICs) of varying heights or thicknesses. The invention
may be employed to advantage in a variety of modules that employ flex
circuitry including, but not limited to, fully-buffered, registered or
more simple memory modules. Many such modules may replace
conventionally-constructed DIMMs without change to the system in which
the module is employed. Regions of the flex circuitry devised to provide
one or more mounting locales for ICs are delineated, in part, from the
main body of the flex circuit. The delineation may be implemented in a
preferred embodiment by separating a designated IC mounting area or
peninsula from the main body of the flex circuitry either with isolating
areas or separations or with tabs that extend from the primary perimeter
of the flex circuitry.
