Patent ID: 7829980

Claim:
A magnetoresistive memory device comprising: a substrate; a first die coupled to said substrate, said first die containing magnetoresistive memory cells and having a first top surface with first bonding pads positioned thereon, said first bonding pads being interconnected with associated first connection sites spaced apart from said first die; a first adhesive applied to said first top surface, excluding application of said first adhesive on said first bonding pads when said first adhesive is applied to said first top surface; a first magnetic shield bonded to a first top surface of said first die via said first adhesive; a second die attached to said first magnetic shield, said second die containing said magnetoresistive memory cells and having a second top surface with second bonding pads positioned thereon, said second bonding pads being interconnected with associated second connection sites spaced apart from said first die; a second adhesive applied to said second top surface, excluding application of said second adhesive on said second bonding pads when said second adhesive is applied to said second top surface; and a second magnetic shield adhered to said second top surface using said second adhesive.
