TETHERLESS CHIP MODULE

Abstract:

Attach a smart chip to a carrier, and attach a memory chip to the carrier in communication with the smart chip. The memory chip has a larger footprint than the smart chip, overlies the smart chip, and is attached to the carrier by connections around the periphery of the smart chip. Removably attach an energy storage device (ESD) to the carrier and electrically connect the ESD to the carrier via a flex bridge.
