One embodiment is a microelectronic assembly including an assembly support structure; a first die including a pair of hot via comprising through-substrate-via (TSVs) extending through the first die between first and second sides thereof and a plurality of ground vias surrounding the pair of hot vias and extending through the first die between the first and second sides thereof. The first die further includes a pair of signal interconnect structures electrically connected to the pair of hot vias disposed on the second side of the first die. The assembly further includes a second die between the assembly support structure and the first die the pair of signal interconnect structures disposed on the first side thereof. The first die is connected to the second die via a signal die-to-die (DTD) interconnect structure including the signal interconnect structures of the first and second dies.
