Disclosed is a microelectronic device assembly comprising a substrate having conductors exposed on a surface thereof. Two or more microelectronic devices are stacked on the substrate and the components are connected with conductive material in preformed holes in dielectric material in the bond lines aligned with TSVs of the devices and the exposed conductors of the substrate. Methods of fabrication are also disclosed.

Disclosed is a microelectronic device assembly comprising a substrate having conductors exposed on a surface thereof. Two or more stacks of microelectronic devices are located on the substrate, and microelectronic devices of the stacks are connected to vertical conductive paths external to the stacks and extending to the substrate and to lateral conductive paths extending between the stacks. Methods of fabrication are also disclosed.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a molded electronic package and a method for manufacturing the same. The molded electronic package includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an electronic component arranged on the first substrate, a spring member arranged between the second substrate and the electronic component, the spring member including a first contact portion being fixated relative to the second substrate, and a second contact portion physically contacting the electronic component, and a body of solidified molding compound configured to encapsulate the electronic component and the spring member and to mutually fixate the first substrate, the second substrate, the electronic component and the spring member. The second substrate and the spring member are electrically and/or thermally conductive.

A variable-stiffness module comprises a rigid structure (10) having a first stiffness, an intermediate substrate (20) having a second stiffness less than the first stiffness, and a flexible substrate (30) having a third stiffness less than the second stiffness. The rigid structure (10) is disposed on the intermediate substrate (20) and the intermediate substrate (20) is disposed on the flexible substrate (30). A conductor (40) is disposed partially on the intermediate substrate (21) and partially on the flexible substrate (30) and connected to the rigid structure (10). The conductor (40) extends from the rigid structure (10) to the intermediate substrate (21) to the flexible substrate (30). In some embodiments, a variable-stiffness module comprises any combination of multiple rigid structures, multiple intermediate substrates, and multiple conductors. The conductor (40) can be an optical conductor or an electrical conductor and can be disposed over the rigid structure (10) or between the rigid structure (10) and the intermediate substrate (21).
