Abstract

There is provided a system and method for unpackaged and packaged IC stacked in a system-in-package module. There is provided a system-in-package module comprising a substrate including a first contact pad and a second contact pad disposed thereon, a packaged device disposed on the substrate, and an unpackaged device stacked atop the packaged device, wherein a first electrode of the packaged device is electrically and mechanically coupled to the first contact pad, and wherein a second electrode of the unpackaged device is electrically coupled to the second contact pad. The structure of the disclosed system-in-package module provides several advantages over conventional designs including increased yields, facilitated die substitution, enhanced thermal and grounding performance through direct connect vias, stacking of wider devices without a spacer, and a simplified single package structure for reduced fabrication time and cost.
