Abstract
Abstract In an SIP type module of the type wherein memory ICs are mounted to both surfaces of a substrate, the present invention provides a face package type memory module wherein packaging is made in an inclined direction in place of vertical packaging of the prior art technique and only the memory ICs mounted to the upper surface side of the substrate are deviated to the positions closer to the end portion of the substrate in order to drastically reduce the packaging height.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
264 words
A semiconductor memory module to be mounted to a substrate, comprising: a substantially rectangular shaped double-sided board having a first surface, a second surface, a first side edge which is one of its longer side edges of the board to be mounted to said substrate and a second side edge which is opposite to said first side edge; first memory devices mounted on said first surface along and adjacent to said second side edge in a row, said first memory devices each having same number and same function of terminals including a first terminal and second terminals; and second memory devices mounted on said second surface along and adjacent to said second side edge in a row, said second memory devices each having same number and same function of terminals including a first terminal and second terminals, wherein said first terminal and second terminals of said second memory devices having same function as said first terminal and second terminals of said first memory devices, wherein said first terminals of said first memory devices are electrically connected to each other, said first terminals of said second memory devices are electrically connected to each other, and each of said second terminals of one of said first memory devices and each of said second terminals of one of said second memory of one of said second memory devices are electrically connected to each other, and wherein said second memory devices are arranged closer to said second side edge than said first memory devices, so as to mount said memory module at an acute angle with said substrate.
