    Abstract: A composite integrated circuit (IC) structure includes at least a first IC die in a stack with a second IC die. Each die has a device layer and metallization layers interconnected to transistors of the device layer and terminating at features. First features of the first IC die are primarily of a first composition with a first microstructure. Second features of the second IC die are primarily of a second composition or a second microstructure. A first one of the second features is in direct contact with one of the first features. The second composition has a thermal conductivity at least an order of magnitude lower than that of the first composition and first microstructure. The first composition may have a thermal conductivity at least 40 times that of the second composition or second microstructure.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for high interconnect density communication with an interposer. In some embodiments, an interposer comprises a substrate and portions disposed thereon, wherein respective inorganic dielectrics of said portions adjoin each other at a material interface, which extends to each of the substrate and a first side of the interposer. A first hardware interface of the interposer spans the material interface at the first side, wherein a first one of said portions comprises first interconnects which couple the first hardware interface to a second hardware interface at the first side. A second one of said portions includes second interconnects which couple one of first hardware interface or the second hardware interface to a third hardware interface at another side of the interposer. In another embodiment, a metallization pitch feature of the first hardware interface is smaller than a corresponding metallization pitch feature of the second hardware interface.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure may be formed having a first integrated circuit device, a second integrated circuit device electrically coupled to the first integrated circuit device, and at least one unidirectional heat transfer device between the first integrated circuit device and the second integrated circuit device. In one embodiment, the unidirectional heat transfer device may be oriented such that it has a higher conductivity in the direction of heat transfer from the first integrated circuit device to the second integrated circuit device than it does in the opposite direction. When the temperature of the second integrated circuit device rises above the temperature of the first integrated circuit device, the unidirectional heat transfer device will act as a thermal insulator, and when the temperature of the first integrated circuit device rises above the temperature of the second integrated circuit device, the unidirectional heat transfer device will act as a thermal conductor.
