Abstract:
An integrated circuit and a method for designing an IC where the smallest repeatable block is selected, designed and tested to span across multiple die levels. The block is configured to be timing closed at the block level thereby reducing the overall complexity of the design and avoiding the limiting effects of the constrained EDA tools. The block may subsequently be repeated on multiple die to be stacked in an IC.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for designing an integrated circuit comprising:\n determining a repeatable functional block of an integrated circuit; selecting a process design kit suitable to design an individual functional block; designing the repeatable functional block of the integrated circuit such that the design of the block is configured to be timing closed at the block level and wherein the repeatable block is configured to span across more than one die such that the block has functional definitions on each of the more than one die; testing the designed repeatable block at the block level to ensure timing closure has been met; and instantiating the designed repeatable block on a plurality of individual die, wherein the plurality of individual die are configured to be stacked with at least another individual die having corresponding instantiated blocks.
