  • Patent number: 11749647
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a vertical column of wire bonds on substrate contact fingers of the device. Semiconductor dies are mounted on a substrate, and electrically coupled to the substrate such that groups of semiconductor dies may have bond wires extending to the same contact finger on the substrate. By bonding those wires to the contact finger in a vertical column, as opposed to separate, side-by-side wire bonds on the contact finger, an area of the contact finger may be reduced.
