Abstract
Method and apparatus are provided for semiconductor device packages. In an example, an apparatus can include a first semiconductor device, a ground pad situated on an uppermost portion of the first semiconductor device and configured to electrically couple portions of the first semiconductor device to aground potential, and a second semiconductor device having at least a portion in electrical communication with an uppermost face of the first semiconductor device through a first electrically-conductive adhesive. In an example, the first electrically-conductive adhesive can be electrically coupled to the ground bond pad on the first semiconductor device.
