7. PROPOSAL NUMBERING PADS (2) We keep off all test_output pads out of the numbering

8. Pad size and definition

9. First pads row= 62 x 180.11µ Second row and test pads= 62 x 95.03µ

10. Pads definition Blue Pads: GND Pink pads: VDD (1.2V) Yellow pads: VDDA (1.2V) Green pads: signals

11. All serial_out pads are well surrounded with GND and VDD. CLK_DLL has reset_coarse_frame_count as neighbor. CLK_DIG has CLK_OUT as neighbor.

12. PN gnd Vdd vdd PN PN Vdd vdd P N Vdd gnd Actual Proposal

13. Bond wires length: GND: 0.7mm VDD= 1.4mm VDDA= 2.1mm Signals= 2.5mm First option: using rings for the power supplies And bond pads + micro vias for the signals. GND VDD VDDA

14. Bond wires length: GND: 0.7mm VDD, VDDA, Sig= 1.5mm Second row: 2.7 to 3.5mm Second option: using bond pads and micro vias for all connections

15. Wire Tail 25µ Foot 50µ Heel 25µ Min = 100µm Al wegde Wirebonding

16. High risk of shorting adjacent pads, extremely accurate bond placement required. Nice small probe mark, should have been at the end of pad but plenty of space for bond foot. Scratched through to the silicon in the uniform dark grey areas in center of the probe marks. Good bond pad design and especially PCB process control is essential.

17. Too short pad dimensions and thick passivation window can lead to weakened or broken heels. Passivation 5-7μm Reduced contact area and weakened heel (wire pushed over edge of pad). Accuracy of bond positioning: ±3µm silicon corner

18. Polyimide passivation not on each pad. It is preferable to create a region as shown in the picture in order to leave more space for the bonding

19. A 90° angle respect to the bonding pads 73µm pitch The possibility to probe the wafer before dicing The possibility to double the bond We would need bonding pads with 300µm length. Assuming
