Abstract:
1. A semiconductor structure, comprising: a semiconductor chip; a conductive layer comprising at least a first conductive pathway and a second conductive pathway spacedly disposed from said first conductive pathway, said first conductive pathway electrically coupled to said chip, at least a portion of said first conductive pathway disposed outside the lateral boundary of said chip, at least a portion of said second conductive pathway disposed outside the lateral boundary of said chip; and a conductive interconnect disposed outside the lateral boundary of said chip, said conductive interconnect electrically coupling said first conductive pathway to said second conductive pathway, said conductive interconnect electrically coupled to said first conductive pathway at a first area of contact, said conductive interconnect electrically coupled to said second conductive pathway at a second area of contact, a portion of said conductive layer crossing over said conductive interconnect between said first area of contact and said second area of contact.
