[Problem] To electrically connect two substrates by using conductive paste while maintaining the distance between the two substrates at a predetermined distance.

[Solution] A substrate module of the present disclosure includes: a first substrate including a plurality of first pads; and a second substrate including a plurality of second pads, the first substrate and the second substrate being electrically connected. A spacer is attached to a pad of at least either of the first pads and the second pads, and one or more pairs of the first pads and the second pads not sandwiching the spacer are bonded with conductive paste in a state where the spacer is sandwiched between another pair of the first pads and the second pads.

Embodiments that allow both high density and low density interconnection between microelectronic die and motherboard via Direct Chip Attach (DCA) are described. In some embodiments, microelectronic die have a high density interconnect with a small bump pitch located along one edge and a lower density connection region with a larger bump pitch located in other regions of the die. The high density interconnect regions between die are interconnected using an interconnecting bridge made out of a material that can support high density interconnect manufactured into it, such as silicon. The lower density connection regions are used to attach interconnected die directly to a board using DCA. The high density interconnect can utilize current Controlled Collapsed Chip Connection (C4) spacing when interconnecting die with an interconnecting bridge, while allowing much larger spacing on circuit boards.
