Abstract
A chip having a microelectromechanical system fabricated thereon is disclosed that has both perimeter off-chip electrical contacts, as well as interior off-chip electrical contacts. The interior off-chip electrical contacts are not used for directing an off-chip signal onto the chip, or for reading out an on-chip a signal to an off-chip location. Instead, these interior off-chip electrical contacts are the result of an efficient way of designing the layout of die on a wafer from which the chip may be diced.
