Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments provide regulated power routing through various inactive features of a device. In one embodiment, such inactive features include a through via wall which can be formed in an encapsulating material of a die stack. In another embodiment, such inactive features include a heat dissipation features formed over the die stack. In another embodiment, such inactive features include dummy via blocks attached adjacent a die cube. Yet other embodiments may combine the features of these embodiments without limitation.
