Abstract

A method and component resulting from interconnecting wafers in three dimensions, where the wafers include chips and the chips include pads. Steps in the method include connecting leads to the pads; stacking the wafers; embedding the stack by a selectively removable material; treating faces of the stack in order to reveal the leads; forming connections on the faces of the stack for interconnecting the leads; and removing the selectively removable material.
