Abstract:
A power distribution system for a semiconductor die comprising:a first plurality of bond pads distributed along a first path on said die and having connections to a first buss integral to said die and requiring a voltage at a first level;means for connection to a first source for said voltage at a first level;first conductive means connecting said means for connection to a first source to said first plurality of bond pads with said first conductive means spaced from a surface of said die except at said first plurality of bond pads, and having a sufficiently low resistance to shunt radiation induced currents away from said first buss;a second plurality of bond pads distributed along a second path on said die and having connections to a second buss integral to said die and requiring a voltage at a second level;means for connection to a second source for said voltage at a second level; andsecond conductive means connecting said means for connection to a second source to said second plurality of bond pads with said second conductive means spaced from a surface of said die except at said second plurality of bond pads, and having a sufficiently low resistance to shunt radiation induced currents away from said second buss.
