Integrated circuit with interface tile for coupling to a stacked-die second integrated circuit

An integrated circuit die comprising

• a first array of tiles arranged in rows and columns;
• a second array of tiles arranged in rows and columns;
• a column of interconnect tiles positioned between the first and second arrays of tiles;
• a plurality of routing conductors that connect the first and second arrays of tiles to the interconnect tiles;
• a plurality of micropads positioned on an upper surface of the integrated circuit die;
• and
• a plurality of interconnect conductors connecting each of the interconnect tiles to a corresponding one of the micropads, whereby a signal applied to a micropad can be communicated between the micropad and a respective one of the routing conductors;
• wherein the column of interconnect tiles comprises a plurality of columns of interconnect tiles.

An integrated circuit structure, comprising:

• a programmable interconnect structure;
• and
• interface tile means for coupling a second integrated circuit structure to the programmable interconnect structure of the integrated circuit structure when the second integrated circuit structure and the integrated circuit structure are in a stacked relation, the tile means comprising a micropad for communicating a signal between the integrated circuit structure and the second integrated circuit structure;
• wherein the interface tile means further comprises four edges and a routing conductor couplable to the micropad such that a signal received onto the micropad can be communicated from the micropad and onto the routing conductor;
• wherein the routing conductor is a first conductor segment that extends to a first edge of the four edges of the interface tile means and
• wherein a first edge of the four edges of the interface tile means abuts a second tile means, the second tile means having a second conductor segment that meets the first conductor segment end-to-end at the first edge to form a conductor that extends from a point inside the interface tile means to a point inside the second tile means.
