Original Abstract Submitted

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.
