  • Publication number: 20070065987
    Abstract: A stacked multiple offset chip device is formed of two or more dice of similar dimensions and bond pad arrangement, in which bond pads are located in fields along less than three edges of the active surface of each die. A first die is attached to a substrate and subsequent die or dice are attached in a vertical sequence atop the first die, each in an offset configuration from the next lower die to expose the bond pads thereof for conductive bonding to metallization of the substrate. The multiple chip device permits a plurality of dice to be stacked in a maximum density low profile device. A particularly useful application is the formation of stacked mass storage flash memory package.

  • Publication number: 20050148116
    Abstract: A semiconductor device formed by an automated wire bonding system. The semiconductor device comprises a lead frame having a plurality of lead fingers and a die paddle, and a semiconductor die mounted to the die paddle. The die paddle comprises a plurality of eyepoint features that extend from the die. The die comprises a first plurality of bonding pads and the lead fingers comprise a second plurality of bonding pads. The first and second bonding pads are interconnected by a plurality of connecting wires which are installed by the automated wire bonding system.
