Abstract

See full text

Semiconductor devices having modified current distribution and methods of forming the same are described herein. As an example, a memory die in contact with a logic die can be configured to draw a sum amount of current from a current source. The memory die can include a plurality of through-substrate vias (TSVs) formed in the memory die and configured to provide the sum amount of current to the memory die from the current source. The memory die can include at least two interconnection contacts associated with a first TSV closer to the current source that are not connected. The memory die can include an electrical connection between at least two interconnection contacts associated with a second TSV that is further in distance from the current source than the first TSV.
