Abstract: A semiconductor package includes an interposer, a number of a first integrated circuit (IC) dies, one or more second IC dies, and one or more dummy dies. The first IC dies, the second IC dies and the dummy dies are implemented on the interposer. The dummy dies are configured to enable routing of pins of the first IC dies to selected circuits of the second IC dies while conforming to predefined routing rules.
