A reticle-stitched integrated circuit is provided. The reticle-stitched integrated circuit extends over a first die area and a second die area of an integrated circuit wafer. While individually the first die area and the second die area are within their respective reticle limits, collectively the first die area and the second die area exceed the reticle limit. A first layer of the reticle-stitched integrated circuit may have communication wires that remain exclusively in only one of the first die area and the second die area. A second layer of the reticle-stitched integrated circuit may have communication wires that overlap the first die area and the second die area, thereby allowing communication between the two die areas and enabling the reticle-stitched integrated circuit to exceed the limit of the reticle.
A reticle-stitched integrated circuit device extending over a first die area within a reticle limit of a first area of an integrated circuit wafer from which the integrated circuit device is patterned and a second die area within a reticle limit of a second area of the integrated circuit wafer, the integrated circuit device comprising:
