The subject technology is directed to systems and methods for enhancing die-to-die connectivity in semiconductor devices. According to an embodiment, the subject technology provides a device that includes a first layer comprising a first block and a second layer comprising a second block. The device further includes a third layer coupled to and positioned between the first and second layers. The first and second layers are aligned at a first region of the first connection, based on a set of design strategies. Embodiments of the subject technology enable automated and efficient routing of signals across dice, accommodating multiple instantiations of circuit blocks with various orientations. This ensures minimal signal path length and high-density interconnects by minimizing the physical footprint of connections and adhering to stringent design rule checks within a 3D integrated circuit layout. There are other embodiments as well.
