Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit assembly, comprising: an integrated circuit die; a routable metal layer comprising routable metal traces configured for coupling wire bond pads to package pads that are configured as a mount for the die, the routable metal layer including at least a pair of metal traces that directly couple a pair of wire bond pads to one another without an intervening package pad under an area on which the die is mounted; an electrically nonconductive adhesive layer coupling the integrated circuit die to the routable metal layer such that the integrated circuit die is not directly electrically connected to the metal traces routed under the area on which the die is mounted; and a plurality of bond wires linking circuitry on the integrated circuit die to the wire bond pads in the routable metal layer, forming electrical connections between the integrated circuit die and the routable metal layer.
