Abstract

See full text

Various aspects of an approach for routing die signals in an interior portion of a die using external interconnects are described herein. The approach provides for contacts coupled to circuits in the interior portion of the die, where the contacts are exposed to an exterior portion of the die. The external interconnects are configured to couple these contacts so that signals from the circuits in the interior portion of the die may be routed externally to the die. In various aspects of the disclosed approach, the external interconnects are protected by a packaging for the die.
