An improved multifocal design for an ocular implant is provided. This ocular implant can include an accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) and a number of haptics. The accommodating IOL includes a liquid suspended between two optically transparent plates or membranes to form a pressure lens that passes optical energy. The haptics mechanically couple to the IOL in order to position and secure the IOL within the eye. The IOL achieves accommodation by using the eye's ciliary muscles to vary the surface curvature of the liquid. The liquid may have a high surface tension and be surrounded by phobic liquid. Pressure from the ciliary muscles causes fluid to be added from or withdrawn to a reservoir. Increasing / decreasing the internal pressure of the liquid changes the angle (curvature) of the surface thus changing the optical properties of the lens. When the pressure is released the liquid returns to the reservoir. The whole system may be sealed off from the interior of the eye by a membrane / transparent lens.

A microelectronic assembly includes two or more microelectronic packages stacked at a fine pitch, which is finer than the pitch that is possible when using solder balls for making the joint. Each stackable package desirably includes a substrate having pins projecting from one surface of the substrate and solder balls projecting from the other surface of the substrate. Each stackable package may have one or more die attached to one or more of the surfaces of the substrate. In certain embodiments, die may be attached to both surfaces of the substrate. The dies may be electrically interconnected with the substrate using wire bonds, flip chip bonding, leads and / or stud bumping. The die may be encapsulated in an encapsulated material, under-filled or glob topped. In certain preferred embodiments, the combination of the conductive post height and ball height is equal to or greater than the height of the encapsulated or molded chip structure. The combination of the conductive post height and the ball height must be at least equal to the height of the encapsulated chip structure so that the conductive elements are able to span the gap between layers of the assembly.

During reflow, the reflowed solder will wick up around the conductive posts to form elongated solder columns. In addition, when the solder is reflowed, surface tension pulls the opposing layers of the assembly toward one another and provides a self-centering action for the conductive posts.
