  • Patent number: 7198979
    Abstract: A method of stacking semiconductor chips includes providing four semiconductor chips that each include a top surface with central bond pads. Each of the bond pads is electrically coupled to second bond pads located in a peripheral portion of the semiconductor chip through a conductive layer. The first and the second semiconductor chips are arranged alongside one another on a carrier substrate. The second bond pads from the first and second semiconductor chips are bonded to corresponding landing pads on the substrate. The third semiconductor chip is then stacked over the first semiconductor chip and the fourth semiconductor chip over the second semiconductor chip. The second bond pads of the third and fourth semiconductor chips can then be bonded to contact pads of the substrate. The substrate can then be separated into a first stack that includes the first and third semiconductor chips and a second stack that includes the second and fourth semiconductor chips.

  • Patent number: 7023097
    Abstract: The invention relates to an FBGA arrangement, comprising a substrate on which at least one chip is chip-bonded face-down, which has a central row of bonding pads connected to contact islands (landing pads) on the substrate by a bonding channel in the substrate via wire bridges, which substrate, for its part, is provided with soldering balls—arranged in an array—for contact connection to a printed circuit board, and the contact islands and the soldering balls being connected to one another via a rewiring of the substrate. The preferred embodiment of the invention is intended to provide an FBGA arrangement which supports the center pad row technology and at the same time has low electrical parasitics.
