Abstract: Multi-die structures with die-to-die routing are described. In an embodiment, each die is patterned into the same semiconductor substrate, and the dies may be interconnected with die-to-die routing during back-end wafer processing. Partial metallic seals may be formed to accommodate the die-to-die routing, programmable dicing, and various combinations of full metallic seals and partial metallic seals can be formed. This may also be extended to three dimensional structures formed using wafer-on-wafer or chip-on-wafer techniques.
