Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit device includes a plurality of integrated circuit chips located on a common substrate, each respective integrated circuit chip from among the plurality of integrated circuit chips including functional circuitry, a clock generator, clock circuitry including clock terminals at an edge of the respective integrated circuit chip, initial clock conductors configured to conduct a clock signal output by the clock generator from the clock generator to the clock terminals, and functional clock conductors configured to conduct the clock signal from the clock terminals to the functional circuitry. Each respective chip is located on the common substrate in an orientation that exposes the clock terminals on the respective chip to face corresponding clock terminals on at least one other chip among the plurality of integrated circuit chips, configured for interconnection of the plurality of integrated circuit chips into a multi-chip module with a common clock.
