ABSTRACT:
Modules with larger areas for device mounting but minimized profiles are provided. In preferred embodiments, modules that employ one or more flex circuits have sculpted supportive substrates to selectively accommodate larger or taller profile devices. In several preferred embodiments, higher profile circuits such as AMBs, for example, are disposed in what are, in a preferred embodiment, windows, pockets, or cutaway areas in the substrate. In other preferred embodiments, both the substrate and the flexible circuitry have openings into which a device of greater profile such as, for example, an AMB or a logic device with or without a resident heat sink are provided with a volume to occupy without adding the full profile of the taller device to the profile of the module itself.
