Abstract: Reconstructed 3DIC structures and methods of manufacture are described. In an embodiment, one or more dies in each package level of a 3DIC are both functional chips and/or stitching devices for two or more dies in an adjacent package level. Thus, each die can function as a communication bridge between two other dies/chiplets in addition to performing a separate chip core function.
