Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides an integrated circuit module. This module includes a semiconductor die with an active face, upon which active circuitry and signal pads reside, and a back face opposite the active face. The module uses a flexible cable to deliver electrical power to the active face of the semiconductor die from a power distribution board located above the active face of the semiconductor die. This flexible cable provides electrical power to the semiconductor die without interfering with the alignment and heat removal functions of the module.
