Abstract
An apparatus includes a two-dimensional array of single-chip modules (SCMs) and at least one component. A respective SCM in the array includes at least a semiconductor die that is configured to communicate data signals by capacitive coupling using one or more proximity connectors in a first set of proximity connectors. The first set of proximity connectors are coupled to the semiconductor die. A second set of proximity connectors is coupled to at least the one component. At least the one component is coupled to semiconductor dies in two or more SCMs using one or more proximity connectors in the second set of proximity connectors thereby enabling communication of the data signals by capacitive coupling.
