ABSTRACT:
Electronic semiconductor structures, and fabrication and sparing methods, each utilize an electrically programmable spare circuit incorporated with a multichip package. The programmable sparing capability in the multichip package is accomplished either with or without the inclusion of a spare chip(s). With a spare memory circuit, individual failed memory cells in the semiconductor chips of a stack can be functionally replaced by memory cells of the spare memory circuit subsequent to encapsulation and burn-in testing. With use of a spare chip, non-volatile sparing can occur subsequent to encapsulation and burn-in testing without physical rewiring of a wire bond connection. Specific details of alternate electronic semiconductor structures, and fabrication and sparing methods therefore, are set forth.
