Abstract
The embodiments herein rely on cross reticle wires (also referred to as cross die wires) to provide communication channels between programmable dies already formed on a wafer. Using cross reticle wires to facilitate x-die communication can be three to four orders of magnitude faster than using general purpose I/O. With a wafer containing cross reticle wires, various device geometries can be generated at dicing time by cutting across different reticle boundaries. This allows up to full wafer-size devices, or several smaller sub-wafer devices to be derived from one wafer. Although the programmable dies can contain defects, these defects can be identified and avoided when generating a bitstream for configuring programmable features in the programmable dies.
