Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a first functional die including at least a first bond pad; at least a second functional die including at least a second bond pad, the at least a second functional die formed and maintained as a unitary integral wafer segment with the first functional die; an adjacent die interconnection circuit operably coupling the at least a first bond pad of the first functional die with the at least a second bond pad of the at least a second functional die, wherein the adjacent die interconnection circuit includes at least one conductor segment having a first end electrically coupled to the at least a first bond pad and a second end electrically coupled to the at least a second bond pad; at least one nonfunctional die including at least one bond pad, the at least one nonfunctional die being formed on the unitary integral wafer segment and located thereon adjacent to one of the first functional die and the at least a second functional die; and wherein the at least one conductor segment extends between the at least a first bond pad and the at least one bond pad of the at least one nonfunctional die, the adjacent die interconnection circuit further including a second conductive segment extending between the at least one bond pad of the at least one nonfunctional die and the at least a second bond pad.
