Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes a first intellectual property block. There are a second intellectual property block and a third intellectual property block around the first intellectual property block. There is a multiple metal layer stack over the first intellectual property block, the second intellectual property block, and the third intellectual property block. An interconnect structure is situated in the upper portion of the multiple metal layer stack. The interconnect structure is configured for connecting the first intellectual property block and the second intellectual property block. In addition, at least a part of the interconnect structure extends across and over the third intellectual property block.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) die includes first through third adjacent rows of through-silicon vias (TSVs), and first and second adjacent rows of memory macros. TSVs of the first row of TSVs extend through and are electrically isolated from memory macros of the first row of memory macros. TSVs of the third row of TSVs extend through and are electrically isolated from memory macros of the second row of memory macros.
