Abstract

An apparatus including a first die including a plurality of conductive through substrate vias (TSVs); and a plurality of second dice each including a plurality of contact points coupled to the TSVs of the first die, the plurality of second dice arranged to collectively include a surface area approximating a surface area of the first die. A method including arranging a plurality of second dice on a first die such that collectively the plurality of second dice include a surface area approximating the surface area of the first die; and electrically coupling a plurality of second device to a plurality of the first die. A system including an electronic appliance including a printed circuit board and a module, the module including a first die including a plurality of TSVs; and the plurality of second dice arranged to collectively include a surface area approximating the surface area of the first die.
