Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: forming a plurality of redistribution paths on a die; forming a passivation layer on the plurality of redistribution paths; forming a plurality of openings in the passivation layer, wherein each opening of the plurality of openings in the passivation layer exposes a corresponding portion of a corresponding redistribution path of the plurality of redistribution paths, wherein the plurality of openings in the passivation layer includes a first opening in the passivation layer, wherein the first opening in the passivation layer exposes a portion of a first redistribution path of the plurality of redistribution paths; forming a plurality of bond pads on the die, wherein the plurality of bond pads includes a first bond pad on the die, wherein the first redistribution path is coupled to the first bond pad, wherein the first bond pad provides an input/output access to the die and the first opening does not provide any direct input/output access to the die; and electrically interconnecting the portion of the first redistribution path, through the first opening, to a first bonding finger of a plurality of bonding fingers of a leadframe via a first wire, wherein the first bonding finger is electrically coupled to an internal circuit of the die via (i) the first wire, (ii) the first redistribution path, and (iii) the first bond pad, wherein each opening of the plurality of openings in the passivation layer is formed near a first edge of the die, wherein each bond pad of the plurality of bond pads is formed near a second edge of the die that is perpendicular to the first edge of the die, and wherein no bond pad is formed near the first edge of the die.
