Abstract:
A stacked semiconductor device is disclosed that includes a plurality of semiconductor dies. Each die has oppositely disposed first and second surfaces, with pads formed on each of the surfaces. A plurality of through-vias connect respective pads on the first surface to respective pads on the second surface. The through-vias include a first group of through-vias coupled to respective I/O circuitry on the semiconductor die and a second group of through-vias not coupled to I/O circuitry on the semiconductor die. The plurality of semiconductor dies are stacked such that the first group of through-vias in a first one of the plurality of semiconductor dies are aligned with respective ones of at least a portion of the second group of through-vias in a second one of the plurality of semiconductor dies.

Claim (Index 9):
A memory device, comprising:\n a first memory die formed with a first contact, the first die including first input/output (I/O) circuitry selectively coupled to the first contact; a second memory die formed with a second contact, the second memory die stacked vertically with the first memory die such that the second contact is disposed in vertical alignment with the first contact, the second memory die including second I/O circuitry selectively coupled to the second contact; a through-silicon via path formed to electrically couple the first contact to the second contact; and wherein solely one of the first I/O circuitry or the second I/O circuitry is connected to the corresponding first contact or second contact.
