A semiconductor device includes a vertical column of wire bonds on substrate contact fingers of the device. Semiconductor dies are mounted on a substrate, and electrically coupled to the substrate such that groups of semiconductor dies may have bond wires extending to the same contact finger on the substrate. By bonding those wires to the contact finger in a vertical column, as opposed to separate, side-by-side wire bonds on the contact finger, an area of the contact finger may be reduced.

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer is between the second semiconductor layer and the semiconductor substrate in a first direction. A first conductive layer is on the second semiconductor layer and contacting the second semiconductor layer. A third semiconductor layer is spaced from the second semiconductor layer in a second direction and connected to the first semiconductor layer. A second conductive layer is spaced from the first conductive layer in the second direction and connected to the third semiconductor layer. Each of the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer, and the third semiconductor layer extends lengthwise in a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction.

A semiconductor device is disclosed including a die stack including a number of dies aligned with each other with respect to an axis, and a top die that is offset along the axis the to prevent die cracking.

A semiconductor device is disclosed including one or more semiconductor dies mounted on substrate. Each semiconductor die may be formed with a ferromagnetic layer on a lower, inactive surface of the semiconductor die. The ferromagnetic layer pulls the semiconductor dies down against each other and the substrate during fabrication to prevent warping of the dies. The ferromagnetic layer also balances out a mismatch of coefficients of thermal expansion between layers of the dies, thus further preventing warping of the dies.

A non-volatile storage system includes a memory controller connected to an integrated memory assembly. The integrated memory assembly includes a memory die comprising non-volatile memory cells and a control die bonded to the memory die. The memory controller provides data to the control die for storage on the memory die. Data is initially stored on the memory die as single bit per memory cell data to increase the performance of the programming process. Subsequently, the control die performs an adaptive folding process which comprises reading the single bit per memory cell data from the memory die, adaptively performing one of multiple decoding options, and programming the data back to the memory die as multiple bit per memory cell data.

An apparatus is provided that includes a die stack having a first die and a second die disposed above a substrate, and a capacitor die disposed in the die stack between the first die and the second die. The capacitor die includes a plurality of integrated circuit capacitors that are configured to be selectively coupled together to form a desired capacitor value coupled to at least one of the first die and the second die.

An electronic assembly includes a plurality of electronic die arranged into shingles, each shingle having a multiple offset stacked die coupled by cascading connections. Each shingle is arranged in a stack of shingles with alternate shingles having die stacked in opposite directions and offset in a zigzag manner to facilitate vertical electrical connections from a top of the electronic assembly to a bottom die of each shingle.

The present invention provides a wire non-attachment inspection system (100) of a semiconductor device (10), wherein: the wire non-attachment inspection system (100) comprises an ultrasonic oscillator (40), an ultrasonic transducer (42), a camera (45), a display (48), and a control unit (50); and the control unit (50) calculates the difference in image between one frame of a captured video and a previous frame before the one frame, and displays, on the display, an image of a wire for which the difference exceeds a prescribed threshold value so as to be displayed differently than the image of another wire.

A semiconductor package includes a mold substrate, at least one first semiconductor chip in the mold substrate and including chip pads, wiring bonding pads formed at a first surface of the mold substrate and connected to the chip pads by bonding wires, and a redistribution wiring layer covering the first surface of the mold substrate and including redistribution wirings connected to the wiring bonding wirings.

A multi-chip package with reduced calibration time and an impedance control (ZQ) calibration method thereof are provided. A master chip of the multi-chip package performs a first ZQ calibration operation by using a ZQ resistor, and then, the other slave chips simultaneously perform second ZQ calibration operations with respect to data input/output (DQ) pads of the slave chips by using a termination resistance value of a DQ pad of the master chip on the basis of a one-to-one correspondence relationship with the DQ pad of the master chip. The multi-chip package completes ZQ calibration by performing two ZQ calibration operations, thereby decreasing a ZQ calibration time.
