ABSTRACT:
A WSI device comprises a semiconductor substrate having a wafer scale size. An integrated circuit having a unified function is formed on a main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate defines various cutouts centrally and/or peripherally thereof. The cutouts serve to extend peripheral regions of the semiconductor substrate. Bonding pads are formed along the extended peripheral regions of the semiconductor substrate. As a result, the number of bonding pads that can be formed is increased to promote multi-functioning of the WSI device.
