Abstract

Die bond locations on a semiconductor die are formed as vertical inserts along the edge of the die. The vertical inserts are isolated from substrate and are exposed by a wafer saw process, in which dice are singulated from a wafer. The configuration offers the advantages of a more efficient layout, allowing the entire top surface of the die to be passivated, a better contact configuration, and more convenient assembly for packaging.
