An apparatus that comprises a power ground/arrangement that comprises a first semiconductor die configured as a central processing unit (CPU). The power/ground arrangement further comprises a first metal layer that provides only one of (i) a power signal and (ii) a ground signal, and a second metal layer that provides the other one of (i) the power signal and (ii) the ground signal. The apparatus further comprises a second semiconductor die configured as a memory that is coupled to the power/ground arrangement. The second semiconductor die is configured to receive power signals and ground signals from the power/ground arrangement. The second semiconductor die is further configured to provide signals to the CPU via the power/ground arrangement and to receive signals from the CPU via the power/ground arrangement. The second semiconductor die is coupled to the power/ground arrangement only along a single side of the second semiconductor die.

摘要:
An integrated circuit (IC) comprises a memory module that stores at least one of data and code. A memory repair database stores data relating to defective memory addresses. A memory control module detects defective memory locations in the memory module, locates redundant memory elements in the memory module, and stores information that associates memory addresses of the defective memory locations with the redundant memory elements in the memory repair database. Storing said information includes electrically altering at least one of a plurality of electrical fuses. A redundant memory decoder module receives the information and physically remaps the memory addresses to the redundant memory locations.

An IC includes a memory module that stores at least one of data and code. A memory repair database stores data relating to defective memory addresses. A memory control module communicates with the memory module and the memory repair database, detects defective memory locations in the memory module, locates redundant memory elements in the memory module, stores information that associates memory addresses of the defective memory locations with the redundant memory elements in the memory repair database, and outputs the information. The memory control module includes a plurality of electrical fuses. Storing the information includes electrically altering at least one of the plurality of electrical fuses. A redundant memory decoder module receives the information and physically remaps the memory addresses to the redundant memory locations.
摘要:
A wire connection structure for an integrated circuit (IC) die includes a semiconductor wafer with an active device and/or a passive device. One or more dielectric layers are arranged adjacent to the active and/or passive device. One or more metal interconnect layers are arranged adjacent to the active and/or passive device. A contact pad is arranged in an outermost metal interconnect layer. A passivation layer is arranged over the outermost metal interconnect layer and includes at least one passivation opening that exposes the contact pad. A bond pad is arranged over the passivation layer and the active and/or passive device and is connected to the contact pad through the passivation opening. Formation of the bond pad does not damage the active and/or passive device.
