Abstract

A chip arrangement may include: a first chip including a first contact, a second contact, and a redistribution structure electrically coupling the first contact to the second contact; a second chip including a contact; and a plurality of interconnects electrically coupled to the second contact of the first chip, wherein at least one interconnect of the plurality of interconnects electrically couples the second contact of the first chip to the contact of the second chip.

Claims (62)

1. A chip arrangement, comprising:

a first chip comprising a first contact, a second contact, and a redistribution structure electrically coupling the first contact to the second contact;

a second chip comprising a contact; and

a plurality of interconnects electrically coupled to the second contact of the first chip, wherein at least one interconnect of the plurality of interconnects electrically couples the second contact of the first chip to the contact of the second chip, wherein the redistribution structure comprises a front-end metallization layer of the first chip.

2. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of interconnects comprises a plurality of bumps.

3. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

wherein the first chip is a logic chip.

4. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

wherein the second chip is a memory chip.

5. The chip arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of interconnects is disposed between the first chip and the second chip.

6. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

wherein the contact of the second chip is a second contact of the second chip,

wherein the second chip further comprises:

a first contact and a redistribution structure electrically coupling the first contact of the second chip to the second contact of the second chip,

wherein the at least one interconnect of the plurality of interconnects that electrically couples the second contact of the first chip to the contact of the second chip is in contact with the second contact of the first chip and the second contact of the second chip.

7. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

wherein the first chip comprises a through-via electrically coupled with the first contact.

8. The chip arrangement of claim 7 ,

wherein the first chip comprises a second through-via electrically coupled with the second contact.

9. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

wherein the first chip comprises a first through-via electrically coupled to the first contact and a second through-via electrically coupled to the second contact,

wherein the first contact is disposed over the first through-via and the second contact is disposed over the second through-via.

10. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

wherein the redistribution structure comprises a redistribution layer disposed at a surface of the first chip.

11. The chip arrangement of claim 6 ,

wherein the redistribution structure of the second chip comprises a redistribution layer disposed at a surface of the second chip.

12. The chip arrangement of claim 6 ,

wherein the redistribution structure of the second chip comprises a front-end metallization layer of the second chip.

13. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

further comprising at least one fuse electrically coupled between the plurality of interconnects and the second contact of the first chip.

14. The chip arrangement of claim 1 ,

further comprising at least one fuse electrically coupled between the plurality of interconnects and a circuit included in the second chip.

15. The chip arrangement of claim 6 ,

further comprising at least one fuse electrically coupled between the plurality of interconnects and the first contact of the first chip or the first contact of the second chip.

16. A chip arrangement, comprising:

a first chip comprising a first contact, a second contact, and a redistribution structure electrically coupling the first contact to the second contact;

a second chip comprising a contact; and

a plurality of interconnects electrically coupled to the contact of the second chip, wherein at least one interconnect of the plurality of interconnects electrically couples the contact of the second chip to the second contact of the first chip,

wherein the redistribution structure comprises a front-end metallization layer of the first chip.

17. The chip arrangement of claim 16 ,

wherein the first chip is a logic chip.

18. The chip arrangement of claim 16 ,

wherein the second chip is a memory chip.

19. The chip arrangement of claim 16 ,

wherein the contact of the second chip is a second contact of the second chip, wherein the second chip further comprises:

a first contact and a redistribution structure electrically coupling the first contact of the second chip to the second contact of the second chip,

wherein the at least one interconnect of the plurality of interconnects that electrically couples the contact of the second chip to the second contact of the first chip is in contact with the second contact of the second chip and the second contact of the first chip.

20. A chip arrangement, comprising:

a first chip comprising a first contact, a second contact, a redistribution structure electrically coupling the first contact to the second contact, and at least one fuse electrically coupled between the first contact and the second contact;

a second chip comprising a first contact, a second contact, and a redistribution structure electrically coupling the first contact to the second contact;

a first interconnect electrically coupled to at least one of the first contact of the first chip and the first contact of the second chip;

a second interconnect electrically coupled to at least one of the second contact of the first chip and the second contact of the second chip,

wherein at least one of the first interconnect and the second interconnect electrically couples the first contact of the first chip to the first contact of the second chip.

21. The chip arrangement of claim 20 ,

wherein the first interconnect is disposed between the first contact of the first chip and the first contact of the second chip; and

wherein the second interconnect is disposed between the second contact of the first chip and the second contact of the second chip.

22. The chip arrangement of claim 20 ,

wherein the first interconnect is in contact with at least one of the first contact of the first chip and the first contact of the second chip; and

wherein the second interconnect is in contact with at least one of the second contact of the first chip and the second contact of the second chip.

23. The chip arrangement of claim 20 ,

further comprising at least one fuse electrically coupled between the first contact and the second contact of the second chip.
