Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying a set of executable instructions, the set of executable instructions to manipulate a fabrication system to perform a portion of a process to fabricate at least part of a hardware integrated circuit, the hardware integrated circuit comprising:
a first semiconductor die comprising a first set of one or more metal layers of a first circuit;
a second semiconductor die stacked vertically over the first semiconductor die, wherein the second semiconductor die comprises a second set of one or more metal layers of a second circuit, and wherein the second semiconductor die has a same design as the first semiconductor die, and wherein the second circuit corresponds to the first circuit; and
a third semiconductor die stacked vertically over the second semiconductor die, wherein the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die are configured to send a signal from the first semiconductor die to the third semiconductor die via either the first circuit or the second circuit but not both.
