A stacked integrated circuit (IC) system including a substrate, a contour support, and a first and second IC dies. The contour support including a first support frame attached to the substrate defining a first lateral contact surface substantially orthogonal to the substrate, a support plate on the first support frame substantially parallel to the substrate, and a second support frame on the support plate defining a second lateral contact surface substantially orthogonal to the substrate, with the first and second lateral contact surfaces laterally offset from each other. The first integrated circuit die with a side abutting the first lateral contact surface, the second integrated circuit die with a side abutting the second lateral contact surface such that at least a portion of the support plate is between the first and second integrated circuit dies. |
