  • Publication number: 20100155919
    Abstract: Provided is a high-capacity multifunctional multichip package (MCP) structure in which a multifunctional MCP capable of, for example, high-speed image processing and communications, is mounted on a high-capacity memory package capable of storing various data, e.g., moving images, pictures, or music files. The high-capacity memory package may be efficiently applied to a mass storage of a mobile device. However, an eight-stage-plus chip stacking structure should overcome yield loss during assembly and test processes. To do this, a memory package may be divided into a pair of package to form upper and lower package stacks. To physically connect the pair of packages, molding members may be installed opposite each other and fixed to each other using an adhesive member. Also, to electrically connect the pair of packages, one of the packages may be formed using a flexible PCB substrate capable of bending.
