Semiconductor die stacks and associated systems and methods

Semiconductor die stacks, and associated methods and systems are disclosed. The semiconductor die stack may include a first die with a memory array and a second die with CMOS circuitry configured to access the memory array. The first die may not have circuitry for accessing the memory array. Further, the first and second dies may be bonded to function as a single memory device, and front surfaces of the first and second dies are conjoined to form electrical connections therebetween. The second die may include a portion uncovered by the first die, where bond pads of the semiconductor die stack are located. The first die may provide a space for bond wires to connect to the bond pads without interfering with another die attached above the semiconductor die stack. Multiple semiconductor die stacks may be stacked on top of and in line with each other.
