Abstract

A back-to-back semiconductor device module including two semiconductor devices, the backs of each being secured to one another. Each of the bond pads of both of the semiconductor devices are disposed adjacent a single, mutual edge of the back-to-back semiconductor device module. The back-to-back semiconductor device module may be secured to a carrier substrate in a substantially perpendicular orientation relative to the former. A process for securing the back-to-back semiconductor device module directly to the carrier substrate may employ a solder reflow technique. Alternatively, a module-securing device may be employed to secure the back-to-back semiconductor device module to the carrier substrate. An embodiment of a module-securing device comprises an alignment device having one or more receptacles formed therein and intermediate conductive elements that are disposed within the receptacles to establish an electrical connection between the semiconductor devices and the carrier substrate. Another embodiment of a module-securing device comprises a clip-on lead, one end of which resiliently biases against a lead of at least one of the semiconductor devices, the other end of which is electrically connected to a terminal of the carrier substrate.
