Stacked memory and ASIC device

Abstract

Roughly described, the invention involves a device including a memory chip having a memory array, bit lines in communication with data carrying nodes of the memory array, and word lines in communication with certain gate control nodes of the memory array. The memory chip has bonding pads formed on an interconnect surface at respective memory chip interconnect locations. Each of the bit lines and each of the word lines of the memory array includes a respective landing pad in a conductive layer of the chip, and these landing pads connected via redistribution conductors to respective ones of the set of memory chip bonding pads. The redistribution conductors for the bit lines have a positive average lateral signal travel distance which is less than that of the redistribution conductors for the word lines.
