Abstract

A memory component has a rectangular semiconductor substrate containing active memory circuits and output terminals on a major surface thereof. An insulating layer on the major surface receives a plurality of metal connection leads, connecting the output terminals to connection pads located on the major surface along only one of longer sides of the substrate. A plurality of additional pads are distributed between the connecting pads and are devoid of connection leads. A memory module comprising several stacked memory components is also described, which uses the additional pads as relays.
