Three dimensional structure memory
First Claim
1. A stacked integrated circuit 1 comprising:
- a plurality of thinned substantially flexible integrated circuits having topside and bottom-side surfaces, wherein each of said integrated circuits are stacked in relation to one another; and
interconnections electrically connecting the plurality of thinned substantially flexible integrated circuits, wherein the interconnections are formed only on said surfaces.

Abstract
A Three-Dimensional Structure (3DS) Memory allows for physical separation of the memory circuits and the control logic circuit onto different layers such that each layer may be separately optimized. One control logic circuit suffices for several memory circuits, reducing cost. Fabrication of 3DS memory involves thinning of the memory circuit to less than 50 μm in thickness and bonding the circuit to a circuit stack while still in wafer substrate form. Fine-grain high density inter-layer vertical bus connections are used. The 3DS memory manufacturing method enables several performance and physical size efficiencies, and is implemented with established semiconductor processing techniques.
