Apparatuses and methods for coupling semiconductor devices are disclosed. In a group of semiconductor devices (e.g., a stack of semiconductor devices), a signal is provided to a point of coupling at an intermediate semiconductor device of the group, and the signal is propagated away from the point of coupling over different (e.g., opposite) signal paths to other semiconductor devices of the group. Loading from the point of coupling at the intermediate semiconductor device to other semiconductor devices of a group may be more balanced than, for example, having a point of coupling at semiconductor device at an end of the group (e.g., a lowest semiconductor device of a stack, a highest semiconductor device of the stack, etc.) and providing a signal therefrom. The more balanced topology may reduce a timing difference between when signals arrive at each of the semiconductor devices.

A semiconductor device is disclosed including a wire bonded die stack where the bond wires skip dies in the die stack to provide bond wires having a long length. In one example, the semiconductor dies are stacked on top of each other with offsets along two orthogonal axes so that the dies include odd numbered dies interspersed and staggered with respect to even numbered dies only one of the axes. Wire bonds may be formed between the odd numbered dies, skipping the even numbered dies, and wire bonds may be formed between the even numbered dies, skipping the odd numbered dies. The long length of the bond wires increases an inductance of the wire bonds relative to parasitic capacitance of the semiconductor dies, thereby increasing signal path bandwidth of the semiconductor device.
