US Patent 6847105 Bumping technology in stacked die configurations

A stacked semiconductor package including a plurality of stacked semiconductor devices on a substrate, and a method of forming the same. The semiconductor devices are stacked in an active surface-to-backside configuration. The top semiconductor die is flipped over to face the active surface of the semiconductor die directly below. An electrical connector can extend from a bond pad on the top semiconductor die to a redistribution circuit on the semiconductor die below. The redistribution circuit can be electrically connected to a substrate. Alternatively, an electrical connector extends from a bond pad on top semiconductor die to a bond pad on a substrate.
