RELIABILITY FOR DRAM DEVICE STACK
An interconnected stack of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) die has a base die and DRAM dies. The base die is interconnected vertically with the DRAM dies using through-silicon via (TSV) connections that carry data and control signals throughout the stack. The data signals of the DRAM dies are interconnected vertically to the base die using separate, non-overlapping, sets of TSVs. In a first configuration, each die in the stack is accessed using unique chip identification numbers. In a second configuration, a single chip identification number is used to access two or more dies in the stack. At least one bit of the chip identification number may be used in determining the row being accessed. Data communicated with dies in the stack may be communicated with the base die using non-overlapping sets of data signal connections.
