  • Patent number: 11791272
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package including ICs with multi-row columnar die interconnects has increased die-to-die (D2D) interconnect density in a conductive layer. Positioning the die interconnects in die interconnect column clusters, that each include a plurality of die interconnect rows and two columns, reduces the linear dimension occupied by the die interconnects and leaves room for more D2D interconnects. A die interconnect column cluster pitch is a distance between columns of adjacent die interconnect column clusters and this distance is greater than a die interconnect pitch between columns within the column clusters. Die interconnects may be disposed in the space between the multi-row column clusters and additional die interconnects can be disposed at the D2D interconnect pitch between the die interconnect column clusters. IC packages with ICs including the multi-row columnar die interconnects have a greater number of D2D interconnects for better IC integration.

  • Patent number: 11776915
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an FPGA device forming a network-on-chip by using a silicon connection layer. An active silicon connection layer is designed inside the FPGA device. A silicon connection layer interconnection framework is arranged inside the silicon connection layer. Bare die functional modules inside an FPGA bare die are connected to the silicon connection layer interconnection framework to jointly form the network-on-chip. Each bare die functional module and a network interface and a router that are in the silicon connection layer interconnection framework form an NOC node. The NOC nodes intercommunicate with each other, so that the bare die functional modules in the FPGA bare die without a built-in NOC network can achieve efficient intercommunication by means of the silicon connection layer interconnection framework, reducing the processing difficulty on the basis of improving the data transmission bandwidth and performance inside the FPGA device.
