Abstract

A wire-bonding substrate includes a curvilinear wire-bond pad. The curvilinear wire-bond pad is used in reverse wire bonding to couple a die with the substrate. A curvilinear wire-bond pad is also disclosed that is located directly above the via in the substrate. A wire-bonding substrate includes a first wire-bond pad and a first via that is disposed directly below the first wire-bond pad in the wire-bonding substrate. A package is includes a chip stack with a total die-side characteristic dimension, and a total substrate-side characteristic dimension that is smaller than the total die-side characteristic dimension. A computing system includes the curvilinear wire-bond pad.
