Patent ID: 7109059

Claim:
A method of stacking a first integrated circuit die having a plurality of bumps on a front-side surface thereof and a second integrated circuit die having a plurality of bond pads on a front-side surface thereof on a base having a surface having a plurality of flip-chip pads and a plurality of wire bond pads forming an assembly, at least one flip-chip pad of the plurality connected to at least one wire bond pad of the plurality, the method comprising: connecting at least one flip-chip bump on the front-side surface of the first integrated circuit die to at least one pad of the plurality of flip-chip pads on the surface of the base while attaching an other side surface of a second integrated circuit die to an other side surface of the first integrated circuit die; and connecting at least one bond pad on the front-side surface of the second integrated circuit die to at least one pad of the plurality of wire bond pads on the surface of the base using a bond wire.
