A system and method for wafer scale integration optimized for medium die size integrated circuits by interconnecting a large number of separate memory (or other circuit) modules on a semiconductor wafer so as to electrically exclude both defective modules and defective interconnect/power segments, and include operative modules and interconnect/power segments. A set of discretionary connections are associated with each of the separate modules and interconnect/power segments and such connections are made (or broken) after a module or interconnect or power segment is tested. A power supply network is set up by combining operative power segments. A bidirectional bus is set up by combining operative interconnect segments to connect to each operative modules. This bidirectional bus consists of one or more hierarchies for speed, power and yield considerations. Each module is assigned an identity code using discretionary connections.
A method for forming a first semiconductor device having a first size and a second semiconductor device having a second smaller size using a single mask set, the method comprising the steps of:
