STACKED SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240339438 titled 'STACKED SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes a stacked semiconductor device with upper chips containing channels and pseudo-channels, along with transfer control circuits for data transfer to lower chips.
- The device includes upper chips with first and second channels, each with first and second pseudo-channels.
- Transfer control circuits correspond to the channels and select pseudo-channels based on signals indicating channel designation and location information.
- Data words are transferred between selected pseudo-channels and lower chips, with the first transfer control circuit transferring data in a first order and the second transfer control circuit in a second order opposite to the first order.
Potential Applications: - High-speed data transfer in stacked semiconductor devices - Efficient data routing in complex integrated circuits
Problems Solved: - Optimizing data transfer between stacked chips - Managing data flow in multi-channel semiconductor devices
