Patent ID: 6873036

Claim:
A multiple die semiconductor assembly comprising: a substrate including at least one conductive contact; a first semiconductor die defining a first active surface including at least one bond pad, said first semiconductor die secured to said substrate; a second semiconductor die defining a second active surface including at least one bond pad, said first active surface of said semiconductor die secured to said second active surface of said second semiconductor die by at least one topographic contact extending from one of said at least one bond pads on said first active surface to one of said at least one bond pads on said second active surface; a decoupling capacitor secured to said second semiconductor die; and at least one conductive line connecting said decoupling capacitor, at least one bond pad on said first active surface, and at least one conductive contact on said substrate, wherein said conductive line is external to said substrate, said first semiconductor die, and said second semiconductor die.
