    Abstract: An integrated circuit having an outer ring of bonding pads which is positioned so as to be adjacent to and concentric with the perimeter of the integrated circuit. The outer ring of bonding pads extends for at least a first portion of the perimeter. An inner ring of bonding pads is positioned interior of, adjacent to, and concentric with the first ring of bonding pads. The inner ring of bonding pads extends for at least a second portion of the perimeter. The first portion is greater than the second portion, or in other words, the outer ring of bonding pads extends further around the integrated circuit than the inner ring of bonding pads. In addition, the outer ring of bonding pads has a greater number of bonding pads that the inner ring of bonding pads. Traces are electrically connected to the bonding pads of the inner and outer rings, such that each pad is electrically connected to a unique trace, meaning that each pad has a trace which is associated with just that pad and with no other pad. The pads of the inner and outer rings are staggered such that adjacent pads of the inner ring are separated by at least two of the traces which are connected to pads of the outer ring. By staggering the inner and outer rings of pads in this manner, pad density, ease of manufacture, and reliability are increased. By having the rings of pads progress around only a first and second portion of the perimeter of the integrated circuit, no space is taken up by bonding pads that are not required. For example, the outer ring of pads may extend all the way around the perimeter of the integrated circuit, and the inner ring of pads may only extend half way around the perimeter of the integrated circuit, because additional bonding pads are not required by the circuit.

    Abstract translation: 一种具有接合焊盘的外环的集成电路,其定位成与集成电路的周边相邻并与其同心。 接合焊盘的外环延伸至周边的至少第一部分。 接合焊盘的内环位于与第一焊接环的内部,邻近并与其同心。 接合垫的内环延伸至周边的至少第二部分。 第一部分大于第二部分,或者换句话说,接合焊盘的外环围绕集成电路进一步延伸,而不是连接焊盘的内环。 此外,接合焊盘的外环具有更多数量的接合焊盘内圈的焊盘。 迹线电连接到内环和外环的接合焊盘,使得每个焊盘电连接到唯一的迹线,这意味着每个焊盘具有仅与该焊盘相关联并且没有其它焊盘的迹线。 内环和外环的焊盘交错,使得内环的相邻焊盘由连接到外环的焊盘的至少两个迹线分开。 通过以这种方式交错垫的内圈和外圈,垫密度,制造容易性和可靠性增加。 通过使垫片的环仅在集成电路的周边的第一和第二部分周围进行,没有空间被不需要的焊盘吸收。 例如,焊盘的外环可以围绕集成电路的周边延伸,并且焊盘的内环仅可以围绕集成电路的周边延伸一半,因为电路不需要额外的焊盘 。
