Abstract
An improved integrated circuit (IC) layout is described that provides conductive pads on opposite sides of a substrate. The conductive pads provide for connectivity to the chip in different chip orientations. Accordingly, multiple chips having the same layout can be provided in a package, instead of providing each chip with a different layout. Since the same layout may be used for each chip, manufacturing costs are reduced.
