1. A high-density electronic package comprising:

  • a plurality of integrated-circuit-providing semiconductor substrates of substantially identical dimensions stacked and secured together to form a multiple layer structure having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, at least one surface of which provides an access plane end perpendicular to the planes of the layers;

    the access plane end of each substrate having a multiplicity of closely-spaced elecrical contact points provided by the ends of the metal leads formed as part of the integrated circuitry on the substrate;

    insulation layers between adjacent substrates to insulate the body of each substrate from adjacent substrates in the stack; and

    insulation covering the entire access plane end of the stacked substrates except for the contact points thereon, and so formed as to prevent current leakage between the contact points and the access plane ends of the substrates;

    the electrical contact points on the access plane ends of the stacked substrates extending through the insulation in order to be individually accessible for contact with electrical conductors external to the stacked substrates.
