Patent ID: 7745944

Claim:
A microelectronic device comprising: a microelectronic die, the microelectronic die including: a first surface; a second surface positioned opposite to the first surface; an integrated circuit positioned at least partially between the first and second surfaces; and a plurality of terminals positioned on the first surface and electrically coupled to the integrated circuit, wherein the plurality of terminals includes a plurality of first terminals and a plurality of second terminals, wherein the plurality of first terminals is aligned along one side of the first surface and the plurality of second terminals is aligned along the other side of the first surface; a plurality of contacts supported by the first surface of the die and positioned adjacent to the terminals, wherein the plurality of contacts is positioned between the plurality of first terminals and the plurality of second terminals; a plurality of wire-bonds, wherein each of the wire-bonds electrically couples one of the contacts to a corresponding terminal; and a plurality of conductive couplers, wherein each of the conductive couplers is attached to a corresponding contact.
