A method for assembling a packaged integrated circuit is provided. The method includes placing a die into a cavity of a package base, securing the die to the package base with a die attach adhesive, printing a bond connection between a die pad of the die and a lead of the package base or a downbond, and sealing a package lid to the package base.

A method is provided. The method includes one or more of removing existing ball bonds from an extracted die, placing the extracted die into a recess of a hermetic substrate, the extracted die having a centered orientation in the recess, and applying a side fill compound into the recess between the extracted die and the hermetic substrate. The method also includes 3D printing, by a 3D printer, a plurality of bond connections between die pads of the extracted die and first bond pads of the hermetic substrate in order to create a 3D printed die substrate, and 3D printing a hermetic encapsulation over the die, the side fill compound, and the 3D printed bond connections in order to create a hermetic assembly. The extracted die includes a fully functional semiconductor die removed from a previous package. The hermetic substrate includes the first bond pads coupled to second bond pads.

A method is provided. The method includes removing an extracted die including an original ball bond from a previous packaged integrated circuit, bonding the extracted die to an interposer to create a remapped extracted die, 3D printing one or more first bond connections between one or more original bond pads of the extracted die and one or more first bond pads of the interposer, securing the remapped extracted die to a package base, and 3D printing one or more second bond connections between one or more second bond pads of the interposer and one or more package leads or downbonds of the package base. The one or more first and second bond connections conform to the shapes and surfaces of the extracted die, the interposer, and the package base.

An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a package base including package leads, an extracted die removed from a previous packaged integrated circuit, and an an interposer bonded to the extracted die and the package base. The extracted die includes original bond pads and one or more original ball bonds on the original bond pads. The interposer includes first bond pads electrically connected to the original bond pads with 3D printed first bond connections conforming to the shapes and surfaces of the extracted die and the interposer and second bond pads electrically connected to the package leads with 3D printed second bond connections conforming to shapes and surfaces of the interposer and package base.

A semiconductor device according to the present embodiment includes a first pad, a second pad, a third pad, a first bonding wire joined to the first pad, a second bonding wire provided on the second pad with a second stud bump in between, and a third bonding wire joined to the third pad. The second pad is positioned between the first and third pads. The second bonding wire includes a second ball portion and a second wire portion, the second ball portion being joined to the second stud bump, the second wire portion extending from the second ball portion.
