An integrated circuit (IC) package comprising a-substrate having a first side and an opposing a second side, and a bridge die within the substrate. The bridge die comprises a plurality of vias extending from a first side to a second side of the-bridge die. The-bridge die comprises a first plurality of pads on the first side of the bridge die and a second plurality of pads on the second side. The plurality of vias interconnect snes of the first plurality of pads to ones of the second plurality of pads. The bridge die comprises an adhesive film over a layer of silicon oxide on the second side of the bridge die.
