Abstract:
A stacked memory is disclosed including a first integrated circuit memory chip having first storage locations and stacked with a second integrated circuit memory chip. A redundant memory is shared by the first and second integrated circuit memory chips and has redundant storage locations that selectively replace corresponding storage locations in the first or second integrated circuit memory chips. The stacked memory also includes a pin interface for coupling to an external integrated circuit memory controller and respective first and second signal paths. The first signal path is formed through the first and second integrated circuit memory chips and is coupled to the redundant memory and to the pin interface. The second signal path is formed through the first and second integrated circuit memory chips and is coupled to the redundant memory and to the pin interface via the first signal path.
