Abstract
An electronic module (10) includes a processor (12), having a set of contacts (26) coupled to a set of metallized areas (24) on a first device carrier (16), and a programmable memory device (14), having a set of contacts (40) coupled to each of a set of conductive members (46) depending from a second device carrier (33) stacked above the first carrier. Interposed between the two device carriers is an interposer layer (48), a routing layer (60) and a conduction layer (70) which collectively provide a path between a separate first metallized area (24) on the first device carrier and a conductive member (46) on the second device carrier to couple the processor to the memory. At least one clip (72) releasably secures the second device carrier to the first device carrier to allow the second device carrier to be separated so that the programmable memory device can be programmed off-line.
