Patent ID: 7791191

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a first semiconductor die having internal circuitry, a first set of inner bond pads electrically connected to the internal circuitry of the first semiconductor die, and a first edge; a second semiconductor die having internal circuitry, a second set of inner bond pads electrically connected to the internal circuitry of the second semiconductor die, and a second edge adjacent the first edge of the first semiconductor die; and a redistribution layer formed on surfaces of the first and second semiconductor die and including: a set of outer bond pads on at least the second semiconductor die for electrically connecting the first semiconductor die with an external device, an electrical connection between one of the inner bond pads of the first set of inner bond pads on the first semiconductor die and an outer bond pad of the set of outer bond pads on the second semiconductor die, and at least a majority of inner bond pads of the second set of inner bond pads on the second semiconductor having no electrical connection to an external device.
