Abstract
Chip-like stacks of thinned chips are mounted in wells etched into a substrate. A 'chip-like' stack is a stack of chips, which in the aggregate have a height approximately equal to that of a single conventional chip. These chip-like stacks are mounted in a variety of packages. In a preferred embodiment, the stacks are mounted in wells within the substrate of an integrated circuit and the stack is provided with a patterned overlay so that all the circuit connections can be made from the upper surface of the stack. The patterned overlay is protected by a planar insulator. A plurality of substrates may be stacked, one upon the other.
