Abstract
A stacked semiconductor component includes a plurality of semiconductor substrates in a stacked array and a continuous wire extending through aligned vias on the semiconductor substrates of the stacked array in electrical contact with contacts on the semiconductor substrates. A method for fabricating the semiconductor component includes the steps of stacking the semiconductor substrates in a stacked array with aligned vias; threading a wire through the aligned vias; and forming a plurality of electrical connections between the wire and the contacts on the semiconductor substrates.
