A wide I/O semiconductor device is disclosed including a memory die stack wire bonded to an interface chip. The stack of memory die may be wire bonded to the interface chip using a wire bond scheme optimized for die-to-die connection and optimized for the large number of wire bond connections in a wide I/O semiconductor device. This method can achieve significant BW increase by improving packaging yield and costs, not possible with current packaging schemes.

A semiconductor device is disclosed including semiconductor die formed with functionally redundant main and optional die bond pads. In examples, the optional die bond pad is configured to be optionally redundant to the main die bond pad by forming the optional die bond pad with first and second electrically isolated portions, and electrically interconnecting the main die bond pad with the first portion of the second die bond pad. The second die bond pad may or may not be made redundant to the first die bond pad depending on whether an electrically conductive material is deposited on the first and second portions of the optional die bond pad.

Electronic assembly methods and structures are described. In an embodiment, an electronic assembly method includes bringing together an electronic component and a routing substrate, and directing a large area photonic soldering light pulse toward the electronic component to bond the electronic component to the routing substrate.

Techniques and mechanisms for provide interconnection with integrated circuitry. In an embodiment, a packaged device includes a substrate and one or more integrated circuit (IC) dies. A first conductive pad is formed at a first side of a first IC die, and a second conductive pad is formed at a second side of the substrate or another IC die. Wire bonding couples a wire between the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad, wherein a distal end of the wire is bonded, via a bump, to an adjoining one of the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad. A harness of the bump, which is less than a hardness of the wire, mitigates damage to the adjoining pad that might otherwise occur as a result of wire bonding stresses. In another embodiment, the wire includes copper (Cu) and the bump includes gold (Au) or silver (Ag).
