Patent ID: 8361757

Claim:
A method for establishing electrical connections in a semiconductor device assembly, comprising: providing a first semiconductor die comprising at least one bonding pad; providing a second semiconductor die comprising a bonding pad module, wherein the bonding pad module of the second semiconductor die comprises a first bonding pad and a second bonding pad, and the first bonding pad is coupled to the second bonding pad by a conductive trace; providing at least one semiconductor package component or another semiconductor die; positioning a first conductive element coupled between the first bonding pad of the bonding pad module of the second semiconductor die and the bonding pad of the first semiconductor die; and positioning a second conductive element coupled between the second bonding pad of the bonding pad module of the second semiconductor die and the semiconductor package component or the another semiconductor die; wherein the first semiconductor die is coupled to the semiconductor package component or the another semiconductor die via the bonding pad and the bonding pad module and the first and second conductive elements.
