Abstract:
1. An article comprising: a mounting substrate; a first die disposed on the mounting substrate, wherein the first die includes a first plurality of die bond pads disposed along a first edge thereof, wherein the first wire-bond pad is part of a plurality of first wire-bond pads disposed on the mounting substrate and coupled to the first die at the first plurality of die bond pads; a second die disposed on the first die, wherein the second die includes a second plurality of die bond pads disposed along a first edge thereof; a plurality of second wire-bond pads disposed on the mounting substrate and coupled to the second die at the second plurality of die bond pads; a third die disposed on the second die, wherein the third die includes a third plurality of die bond pads disposed along a first edge thereof and wherein the respective first edges of the first die, the second die, and the third die are parallel; a plurality of third wire-bond pads disposed on the mounting substrate and coupled to the third die at the third plurality of die bond pads; wherein the plurality of first wire-bond pads, the plurality of second wire-bond pads, and the plurality of third wire-bond pads occupy a first characteristic dimension, wherein the first plurality of die bond pads, the second plurality of die bond pads, and the third plurality of die bond pads occupy a second characteristic dimension, and wherein the second characteristic dimension is greater than the first characteristic dimension.
