Abstract: A bundled memory includes a substrate, a first memory die, a second memory die, a scribe line, and an electrical connection. The first memory die has a first input/output bus, and the second memory die has a second input/output bus, where the first memory die and the second memory die are formed over the substrate. The scribe line is formed between the first memory die and the second memory die. The electrical connection is formed over the scribe line for electrically connecting to the first input/output bus and the second input/output bus, where the electrical connection is electrically connected to an external input/output bus, where a size of the external input/output bus of the bundled memory is larger than or equal to a size of the first input/output bus and a size of the second input/output bus.
Abstract: The present invention is a structure and method to reduce the inductance of the AC test signal path used for testing an electrical device contained within a semiconductor wafer. This extends the frequency range of testing. It enables testing the devices performance characteristics at higher frequencies than otherwise useable. It is particularly directed for testing on-wafer VCSELs. The method provides to the electrical device the characteristics of a microwave bias-tee device. An on wafer capacitor is designed into the environment of the electrical device enabling the formation and use of the three ports of a bias-tee. Preferably, the bias-tee is formed in a manner not requiring the addition of processing steps to the wafer manufacturing process. The method further provides a way to increase the capacitance of the on-wafer capacitor.

Abstract: Normal and reverse IC patterns are each a mirror image of the other. The normal and reverse IC patterns are simultaneously formed on a semiconductor wafer and are simultaneously tested. The wafer with these IC patterns is cut into chips, which are packaged. The normal and reverse IC packages show identical parasitic impedance and uniform performance.
