Abstract:
1. Multi-core dies produced by a process comprising: developing a first reticle set usable to print Q-core dies, wherein the first reticle set defines scribe lines to separate the Q-core dies, wherein the scribe lines collectively define a seal ring to surround each Q-core die, wherein Q is at least 1; and modifying less than all of the reticles of the first reticle set to produce a second reticle set useable to print P-core dies, wherein said modifying comprises removing at least one defined scribe line of the first reticle set and defining inter-core communication wires to connect at least two adjacent cores that were previously separated by the at least one defined scribe line, wherein P is at least twice Q; printing the multi-core dies on a semiconductor wafer using the second reticle set; and cutting the multi-core dies on the semiconductor wafer along the remaining scribe lines.
