Patent ID: 7282792

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a base having a surface having a first plurality of flip-chip pads thereon for connecting an integrated circuit die having a periphery and having a plurality of flip-chip bumps thereon and a second plurality of wire-bondable pads thereon located on the base outside the periphery of an integrated circuit die for connection to the first plurality of flip-chip pads, at least one flip-chip pad of the first plurality of flip-chip pads being connected to at least one wire-bondable pad of the second plurality of wire-bondable pads; a first integrated circuit die having opposing front-side and back-side surfaces, the front-side surface having a plurality of flip-chip bumps thereon, at least one flip-chip bump of the plurality of flip-chip bumps connected to at least one flip-chip pad of the first plurality of flip-chip pads on the surface of the base; a second integrated circuit die having opposing front-side and back-side surfaces, the back-side surface of the second integrated circuit die attached to the back-side surface of the first integrated circuit die and the front-side surface of the second integrated circuit die having a plurality of bond pads thereon; and at least one connection between at least one bond pad of the plurality of bond pads on the front-side surface of the second integrated circuit die and at least one wire-bondable pad of the second plurality of wire-bondable pads on the surface of the base.
