The electrical performance of the proposed vertical side-chip stacked package is discussed in order to optimize the structure of VSCI. Optimization of VSCI structure is based on stacked die package application with the trending of through silicon via (TSV) signal orientation, TSV signal to ground ratio and TSV signal pitch impact to the overall signal integrity performance.
