Abstract
A memory card comprising a substrate, a memory die on top of the memory die, a controller die on top of the memory die; and a interposer surrounding the controller die and on top of the memory die wherein the interposer allows for wire bonding to the substrate to be minimized. A system and method in accordance with the present invention achieves the following objectives: (1) increase the density of the Flash card by reducing the number of wire bond pads on the substrate and enabling insertion of the largest die possible that can fit inside a given card interior boundary; (2) more efficiently stacks Flash memory dies when stacking is necessary, to increase density of the Flash card; (3) has only a few necessary signal I/O bonding wires to the substrate to improve production yield.
