Abstract

A semiconductor die has three rows or more of bond pads with minimum pitch. The die is mounted on a package substrate having three rows or more of bond fingers and/or conductive rings. The bond pads on the outermost part of the die (nearest the perimeter of the die) are connected by a relatively lower height wire achieved by reverse stitching to the innermost ring(s) or row (farthest from the perimeter of the package substrate) of bond fingers. The innermost row of bond pads is connected by a relatively higher height wire achieved by ball bond to wedge bond to the outermost row of the bond fingers. The intermediate row of bond pads is connected by relatively intermediate height wire by ball bond to wedge bond to the intermediate row of bond fingers. The varying height wire allows for tightly packed bond pads. The structure is adaptable for stacked die.
