Patent ID: 7615871

Claim:
A microelectronic package, comprising: a first microelectronic substrate having a first active surface and a first back surface opposite the first active surface, the first microelectronic substrate carrying a first bond site at the first active surface; a second microelectronic substrate positioned at least proximate to the first microelectronic substrate, the second microelectronic substrate having a second active surface and a second back surface opposite the second active surface and facing the first active surface of the first microelectronic substrate, the second microelectronic substrate carrying a second bond site at the second active surface; a plurality of attachment structures connected directly between the first active surface of the first microelectronic substrate and the second back surface of the second microelectronic substrate, the attachment structures individually having a first quantity of material disposed on the first active surface of the first microelectronic substrate and a second quantity of material in direct contact with the first quantity of material and the second back surface of the second microelectronic substrate, the attachment structures forming no electrically conductive link between the first and second microelectronic substrates and being offset inwardly from a proximate edge of the second microelectronic substrate, wherein the attachment structures are laterally spaced apart from one another; and a wirebond connected directly between the first and second bond sites of the first and second microelectronic substrates.
