Patent ID: 11749572

Abstract:
Systems, methods, circuits, and apparatus including computer-readable mediums for testing bonding pads in multi-die packages, e.g., chiplet systems. An example integrated circuit device includes an integrated circuit, first type bonding pads and second type bonding pads. Each of the first type bonding pads is electrically connected to the integrated circuit and configured to be electrically connected to a corresponding external integrated circuit device. Each of the second type bonding pads is configured to have no electrical connection with the corresponding external integrated circuit device. Each of the first type bonding pads is configured to be electrically connected to a corresponding one of the second type bonding pads. A number of the first type bonding pads can be larger than a number of the second type bonding pads. Each of the second type bonding pads can have a larger pad area for probing than each of the first type bonding pads.
