    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device is disclosed which includes at least a first hybrid bond interface layer disposed between adjacent wafers of a wafer stack. Routing within the hybrid bond interface layer allows test pads exposed on a top wafer of the wafer stack to electrically couple test keys within the wafer stack. By utilizing the routing within the hybrid bond interface layer to index electrical connections between adjacent wafers, IC dies stacked on the wafers may be fabricated with less mask sets as compared to conventional designs.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device and techniques for manufacturing the same are described therein. The integrated circuit device leverages two or more pairs of stacked integrated circuit dies that are fabricated in mirror images to reduce the complexity of manufacturing, thus reducing cost. In one example, an integrated circuit device is provided that includes an integrated circuit (IC) die stack. The IC die stack includes first, second, third and fourth IC dies. The first and second IC dies are coupled by their active sides and include arrangements of integrated circuitry that are mirror images of each other. The third and fourth IC dies are also coupled by their active sides and include arrangements of integrated circuitry that are mirror images of each other.

    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) protections that prevent exposure or examination of integrated circuitry through backside analysis include a layer or mesh of an electrically conductive, electromagnetic radiation blocking material disposed over a backside of an IC device to prevent backside analysis. An electrically conductive conduit couples the material to a node of the integrated circuitry to provide a signal and/or voltage reference to the node through the layer/mesh. If the layer/mesh is tampered with, the integrated circuitry loses the voltage reference or signal thereby disabling the integrated circuitry. The IC device may include detection circuitry to monitor the node and to generate an alert and/or disable the circuitry upon tampering. The IC device may further include a support substrate, where a substrate between the material/mesh and the integrated circuitry is sufficiently thin that the IC device would be mechanically weak if the support substrate were removed.
