Abstract: A circuit design is logically partitioned into a plurality of blocks. As a first hierarchial assembly level, the blocks are fabricated as individual submodules each including at least one electronic component with component connection pads on a top surface, and a first interconnect structure including at least one interconnect layer bonded to the top surfaces, and interconnecting selected ones of the component connection pads. Submodule connection pads are provided on upper surfaces of the submodules. As a second hierarchial assembly level, a second interconnect structure is bonded to the upper surfaces and interconnects selected ones of the submodule connection pads.

Abstract: Connection elements which, for example, may be used to facilitate interconnection to and stacking of electronic assemblies or may include an elongated conductive core, such as a wire or a hollow tube structure, coated with a layer of elastomeric material containing conductive particle such that the elastomeric material is conductive at least when compressed. The substrates of multi-chip modules (MCMs) have electrical connection sites in the form of metal-lined channels in the substrate edges, and the connection elements are pressed into the channels. Separate compression or clamping elements may be employed to enhance conductivity, as well as to facilitate external connections. The elongated conductive core may take the form of a hollow tube structure which may be expanded under internal pressure to compress the layer of elastomeric material. The compression elements may take the form of printed circuit boards.
