Abstract

The present invention provides a method of forming a low profile chip interconnection, and the interconnection so formed. A recessed contact area is formed at an edge of the wafer. A conductive material is deposited within the adjacent contact areas of each recess, thereby electrically connecting the two chips. The recess may have substantially perpendicular sides, or sloped sides.
