Dies-on-package devices and methods therefor are disclosed. In a dies-on-package device, a first IC die is surface mount coupled to an upper surface of a package substrate. Conductive lines are coupled to the upper surface of the package substrate in a fan-out region with respect to the first IC die. A molding layer is formed over the upper surface of the package substrate, around sidewall surfaces of the first IC die, and around bases and shafts of the conductive lines. A plurality of second IC dies is located at a same level above an upper surface of the molding layer respectively surface mount coupled to sets of upper portions of the conductive lines. The plurality of second IC dies are respectively coupled to the sets of the conductive lines in middle third portions respectively of the plurality of second IC dies for corresponding fan-in regions thereof.

Multi-surface edge pads for vertical mount packages and methods of making package stacks are provided. Example substrates for vertical surface mount to a motherboard have multi-surface edge pads. The vertical mount substrates may be those of a laminate-based FlipNAND. The multi-surface edge pads have cutouts or recesses that expose more surfaces and more surface area of the substrate for bonding with the motherboard. The cutouts in the edge pads allow more solder to be used between the attachment surface of the substrate and the motherboard. The placement and geometry of the resulting solder joint is stronger and has less internal stress than conventional solder joints for vertical mounting. In an example process, blind holes can be drilled into a thickness of a substrate, and the blind holes plated with metal. The substrate can be cut in half though the plated holes to provide two substrates with plated multi-surface edge pads including the cutouts for mounting to the motherboard.
