Abstract:
Examples herein describe techniques for forming 3D stacked devices which include a redundant logical layer. The 3D stacked devices include a plurality of semiconductor chips stacked in a vertical direction such that each chip is bonded to a chip above, below, or both in the stack. In one embodiment, each chip is the same—e.g., has the same circuitry arranged in the same configuration in the chip. The 3D stacked device provides a redundant logic layer by dividing the chips into a plurality of slivers which are interconnected by inter-chip bridges. For example, the 3D stacked device may include three stacked chips that are divided into three different slivers where each sliver includes a portion from each of the chips. So long as only one of portions in a sliver is nonfunctional, the inter-chip bridges permit the other portions in the sliver to receive and route data.
