INTEGRATED CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES HAVING INTERCONNECTION BRIDGES SPANNING RETICLE BOUNDARY / DICING STREETS OF MONOLITHIC STRUCTURES THEREIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17825350 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES HAVING INTERCONNECTION BRIDGES SPANNING RETICLE BOUNDARY / DICING STREETS OF MONOLITHIC STRUCTURES THEREIN
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an integrated circuit assembly that consists of two levels of structures.
- The first level structure includes a monolithic substrate with two reticle zones, each containing integrated circuitry.
- The second level structure consists of at least one integrated circuit device that is electrically attached to the integrated circuitry in the first reticle zone of the first level structure.
- A bridge is used to electrically connect the integrated circuitry in the first reticle zone of the first level structure with the integrated circuitry in the second reticle zone of the first level structure.
Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit assembly may be formed having a first level structure that comprises a monolithic substrate with a first reticle zone including integrated circuitry and a second reticle zone including integrated circuitry, and a second level structure comprising at least one integrated circuit device electrically attached to the integrated circuitry of the first reticle zone of the first level structure and a bridge electrically attaching the integrated circuitry of the first reticle zone of the first level structure and the integrated circuitry of the second reticle zone of the first level structure.
