A multi-chip module (10) and a method for manufacturing the multi-chip module (10) that mitigates wire breakage. A first semiconductor chip (40) is mounted and wirebonded to a support substrate (12). A spacer (50) is coupled to the first semiconductor chip (40). A support material (60) is disposed on the spacer (50) and a second semiconductor chip (64) is positioned on the support material (60). The second semiconductor chip (64) is pressed into the support material (60) squeezeing it into a region adjacent the spacer (50) and between the first (40) and second (64) semiconductor chips. Alternatively, the support material (60) is disposed on the first semiconductor chip (40) and a die attach material (62) is disposed on the spacer (50). The second semiconductor chip (64) is pressed into the die attach material (62) and the support material (60), squeezing a portion of the support material (60) over the spacer edges (53, 55). Wirebonds are formed between the support substrate (12) and the first (40) and second (64) semiconductor chips.
