1. An electronic subsystem comprising:
a first stackable module including:
a first substrate having first and second surfaces and a first conductive feedthrough extending between the first and second surfaces;
an integrated circuit mounted on the first substrate;
a second substrate having first and second surfaces and a second conductive feedthrough extending between the first and second surfaces of the second substrate, the second conductive feedthrough electrically coupled to the first conductive feedthrough;
a cooling channel beneath the first substrate, the cooling channel defined by the first and second substrates;
an interconnector electrically coupled to the first and second conductive feedthroughs, the interconnector forming the electronic subsystem by permitting the first stackable module to couple to an additional stackable module; and
a ball grid array interface coupled to the interconnector for communication with the first and second stackable modules.
