Patent ID: 8637975

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor die, including: a first bond pad having a plurality of connection points, the first bond pad arranged on a first portion of the semiconductor die, wherein the first portion corresponds to an outer periphery of the semiconductor die; and a second bond pad and a third bond pad arranged within a second portion of the semiconductor die, wherein the second portion is within the outer periphery of the semiconductor die; a lead external to the semiconductor die, the lead configured to provide a voltage potential to the semiconductor die; a first lead wire connected between the lead and a first connection point of the plurality of connection points of the first bond pad; a second lead wire connected between the second bond pad and a second connection point of the plurality of connection points of the first bond pad; and a third lead wire connected between the third bond pad and a third connection point of the plurality of connection points of the first bond pad, wherein the lead is configured to provide the voltage potential to each of the second bond pad and the third bond pad via the first lead wire, the first bond pad, and second lead wire, and the third lead wire, respectively.
