Abstract: In die stack assembly configurations successive die in the stack are offset at a die edge at which die pads are situated, and the die are interconnected by electrically conductive traces. In some embodiments the electrically conductive traces are formed of an electrically conductive polymer. An electrically insulative conformal coating is provided having openings at die pads that are electrically connected.

Abstract: A die assembly includes a die mounted to a support, in which the support has interconnect pedestals formed at bond pads, and the die has interconnect terminals projecting beyond a die edge into corresponding pedestals. Also, a support has interconnect pedestals. Also, a method for electrically interconnecting a die to a support includes providing a support having interconnect pedestals formed at bond pads on the die mount surface of the support, providing a die having interconnect terminals projecting beyond a die edge, positioning the die in relation to the support such that the terminals are aligned with the corresponding pedestals, and moving the die and the support toward one another so that the terminals contact the respective pedestals.
