Abstract
A method of making a stacked chip layout includes placing a first active circuit block over a central processing chip having a first area, the first active circuit block having a second area less than the first area. The method further includes placing a second active circuit block over the first active circuit block, the second active circuit block having a third area less than the first area, wherein the second active circuit block partially overlaps the first active circuit block and exposes a portion of the first active circuit block. The method further includes placing a third active circuit block over the second active circuit block wherein the third active circuit block partially overlaps at least one of the first active circuit block or the second active circuit block, and the third active circuit block exposes at least a portion of the first and second active circuit blocks.
