Patent ID: 6930378

Claim:
A stack of semiconductor dies, comprising: a substrate including a first surface; a first semiconductor die having an active surface with at least one row of bond pads, and an opposite inactive surface; at least one first support having a first surface and an opposite second surface, wherein the at least one first support has a same thickness between its first and second surfaces as the first semiconductor die has between its active and inactive surfaces; wherein the inactive surface of the first semiconductor die and the first surface of the at least one support are attached to the first surface of the substrate laterally adjacent to each other, and the active surface of the first semiconductor die and the second surface of the at least one first support are in a common plane; a second semiconductor die having an active surface with at least one row of bond pads, and an opposite inactive surface that is entirely covered by a first adhesive layer; wherein the second semiconductor die is stacked on the active surface of the first semiconductor die and the second surface of the at least one support, is attached to the active surface of the first semiconductor die and the second surface of the at least one first support by the first adhesive layer, and does not overlap any of the bond pads of the first semiconductor die.
