Patent ID: 7550842

Claim:
An integrated circuit assembly comprising: a substrate comprising a plurality of electrically conductive traces and a plurality of openings; a plurality of dice attached to said substrate, input and/or output terminals of said dice positioned with in said openings; a plurality of electrically conductive bonded wires, each wire of ones of said wires is bonded at a first end of said wire to one of said traces and bonded at a second end of said wire to a terminal of one of said dice, wherein: a first group of ones of said wires and at least one of said traces are connected one to another, forming a first electrical interconnection electrically connecting terminals of at least two of said dice, and a second group of ones of said wires and at least one of said traces are connected, forming a second electrical interconnection electrically connecting terminals of at least two of said dice; and additional groups of ones of said wires and at least one of said traces that are connected such that each group forms an additional electrical interconnection electrically connecting terminals of at least two of said dice, wherein ones of said first electrical interconnection, said second electrical interconnection, and said additional electrical interconnections compose a data bus structure interconnecting ones of said dice.
