A support substrate includes an insulating core layer, an electrically conductive layer over the insulating core layer and a solder mask layer over the electrically conductive layer. A back side of an integrated circuit chip is mounted to an upper surface of the support substrate at a die attach location. The upper surface of the support substrate includes a cavity located within the die attach location, where the cavity extends under the back side of the integrated circuit chip. The cavity is defined by an area where the solder mask layer and at least a portion of the electrically conductive layer have been removed. Bonding wires connect connection pads on a front side of the integrated circuit chip to connection pad on the upper surface of the support substrate.

A memory system includes dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) components that include interconnected and redundant component data interfaces. The redundant interfaces facilitate memory interconnect topologies that accommodate considerably more DRAM components per memory channel than do traditional memory systems, and thus offer considerably more memory capacity per channel, without concomitant reductions in signaling speeds. The memory components can be configured to route data around defective data connections to maintain full capacity and continue to support memory transactions.

A preferred aim of the invention is to provide technique for improving reliability of semiconductor devices when using a low-dielectric-constant film having a lower dielectric constant than a silicon oxide film to a part of an interlayer insulating film. More specifically, to achieve the preferred aim, an interlayer insulating film IL1 forming a first fine layer is formed of a middle-Young's-modulus film, and thus it is possible to separate an integrated high-Young's-modulus layer (a semiconductor substrate 1S and a contact interlayer insulating film CIL) and an interlayer insulating film (a low-Young's-modulus film; a low-dielectric-constant film) IL2 forming a second fine layer not to let them directly contact with each other, and stress can be diverged. As a result, film exfoliation of the interlayer insulating film IL2 formed of a low-Young's-modulus film can be prevented and thus reliability of semiconductor devices can be improved.

An electronic device package in accordance with the present disclosure can include a substrate, a plurality of electronic components in a stacked relationship, and an encapsulant material encapsulating the electronic components.
