Methods, systems, and devices for wire bonding for stacked memory dies are described. A memory system may include a stack of memory dies. As the stack grows to include more and more memory dies, the length of the wires coupling the memory dies with the control circuit may increase. Bonding multiple wires using an adhesive may increase a gap between neighboring wires coupled with the same memory die or different memory dies. For example, bonding one wire to a neighboring wire may pull one or both of the bonded wires away from their original placement, increasing a gap between the bonded wires and one or more neighboring wires. Bonding the wires coupled with a lower memory die may increase a gap such that sagging wires coupled with an upper memory die may be positioned in the gap to avoid shorting with the lower wires.

Wire bonding for stacked memory dies

Implementations described herein relate to various semiconductor device assemblies. In some implementations, a semiconductor device assembly includes a first semiconductor die, a second semiconductor die in a stacked arrangement with the first semiconductor die, and a flexible interposer disposed between the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die. The flexible interposer may include a first flexible layer, a second flexible layer, and a conductive trace disposed between the first flexible layer and the second flexible layer. A spacer portion of the flexible interposer may space the first semiconductor die from the second semiconductor die. A connecting portion of the flexible interposer may extend from the spacer portion beyond edges of the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die.

Flexible interposer for semiconductor dies

A semiconductor device assembly including a substrate; a first split via including a first via land that is disposed on a surface of the substrate and that has a first footprint with a half-moon shape with a first radius of curvature, and a first via that passes through the substrate and that has a second radius of curvature, wherein the first via is disposed within the first footprint; and a second split via including a second via land that is disposed on the surface of the substrate and that has a second footprint with the half-moon shape with the first radius of curvature, and a second via that passes through the substrate and that has the second radius of curvature, wherein the second via is disposed within the second footprint, wherein the first and second via lands are disposed entirely within a circular region having the first radius of curvature.

Split via structure for semiconductor device packaging

Packaged microelectronic devices and methods of manufacturing packaged microelectronic devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a microelectronic device includes forming a stand-off layer over a plurality of microelectronic dies on a semiconductor workpiece, and removing selected portions of the stand-off layer to form a plurality of stand-offs with the individual stand-offs positioned on a backside of a corresponding die. The method further includes cutting the semiconductor workpiece to singulate the dies, and attaching the stand-off on a first singulated die to a second die.

Packaged microelectronic devices and methods for manufacturing packaged microelectronic devices

Stacked microelectronic devices and methods of manufacturing stacked microelectronic devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a microelectronic device includes forming a plurality of electrically isolated, multi-tiered metal spacers on a front side of a first microelectronic die, and attaching a back-side surface of a second microelectronic die to individual metal spacers.
