Abstract:
1. A semiconductor apparatus, comprising: an arrangement of semiconductor devices located on a surface of semiconductor material, where each semiconductor device in the arrangement of semiconductor devices is associated with a first power domain; at least one voltage pathway defined on the surface of the semiconductor material that divides the arrangement of semiconductor devices into one or more groups, where the at least one voltage pathway comprises one or more areas reserved on the surface for placement of one or more circuits associated with a second power domain that is different than the first power domain; and one or more deposited networks of conductive material configured to electrically connect at least one circuit element to at least one other circuit element, the at least one circuit element located in a first voltage pathway of the at least one voltage pathway and the at least one other circuit element located in a second voltage pathway in the at least one voltage pathway.
