Abstract:
Structures, architectures, systems, an integrated circuit, methods and software for configuring an integrated circuit for multiple packaging types and/or selecting one of a plurality of packaging types for an integrated circuit. The structure generally comprises a bump pad having a plurality of electrically disconnected bump pad sections, a plurality of bond pads each configured for electrical connection to one of the bump pad sections, and a plurality of conductive traces, each adapted to electrically connect one of the bond pads to the one bump pad section. The software is generally configured to place and route components of such a structure. The method of configuring generally includes the steps of forming the bump pad, the bond pads, and the conductive traces from an uppermost metal layer, and forming an insulation layer thereover. The method of selecting generally comprises forming the uppermost metal layer, and forming either a wire bond to at least one of the bond pads, or a ball bond or solder ball to electrically connect the bump pad section. Embodiments of the present invention may advantageously provide reduced manufacturing costs and reduced inventory management issues by enabling one device to be manufactured at a wafer fab for a plurality of different packaging options, thereby enabling packaging decisions to be made at a later time in the manufacturing process.
