Patent ID: 6933611

Claim:
An integrated circuit device, comprising: an integrated circuit die having a plurality of solder pads used for conveying signals to and from the die, the integrated circuit having a plurality of blocks of circuitry; a substrate having a plurality of solder pads corresponding to at least a portion of the integrated circuit die's solder pads; a plurality of solder bumps connecting the substrate to the integrated circuit die; wherein at least one of the blocks of circuitry can be selectively configured by selectively making an electrical connection between the substrate and the integrated circuit die, the block of circuitry to be selectively configured having at least one solder pad that is used to selectively connect to the block of circuitry in order to configure the block of circuitry; and wherein the at least one of the blocks of circuitry is selectively configured by omission of a solder bump on the substrate for at least one connection between the substrate and the at least one of the blocks of circuitry.
