The following are some of the stacking methods used to increase density per module:
TSOP DRAM Stacking Source: STEC
Module Stacking Source: Kingston Memory (modified for clarity)
Proprietary BGA Stacking Source: Tessera

An interesting technique called “Folded Printed Circuit Board” is used by SMART Modular Technologies with its CoolFlex DDR2 2GB low profile module. It uses a folded PCB technology to double the memory capacity and eliminate the need for stacked or multi-die DRAMs. It is a relatively cost effective method when compared to more complex multi-die stacking technique.
