    Abstract: A MOS IC logic cell includes a plurality of gate interconnects extending on tracks in a first direction. The logic cell includes intra-cell routing interconnects coupled to at least a subset of the gate interconnects. The intra-cell routing interconnects include intra-cell Mx layer interconnects on an Mx layer extending in the first direction. The Mx layer is a lowest metal layer for PG extending in the first direction. The intra-cell Mx layer interconnects extend in the first direction over at least a subset of the tracks excluding every mth track, where 2≤m m*P

    Abstract: A package comprising a substrate, a first integrated device coupled to the substrate, a second integrated device coupled to the substrate, a first bridge and a second bridge. The first bridge is coupled to the first integrated device and the second integrated device. The first bridge is configured to provide at least one first electrical path between the first integrated device and the second integrated device. The first bridge is coupled to a top portion of the first integrated device and a top portion of the second integrated device. The second bridge is coupled to the first integrated device and the second integrated device. The second bridge is configured to provide at least one second electrical path between the first integrated device and the second integrated device.

    Abstract: A package that includes a substrate and integrated device coupled to the substrate. The integrated device includes a first core and a second core. The substrate includes a first power interconnect configured to provide a first electrical path for a first power resource to the first core of the integrated device. The substrate includes a second power interconnect configured to provide a second electrical path for a second power resource to the second core of the integrated device. The substrate includes a switch coupled to the first power interconnect and the second power interconnect, where if the switch is turned on, the switch is configured to enable at least some of the power resource from the second power resource to contribute to the first core of the integrated device.

    Abstract: An IC is provided. The IC includes a power grid including Mx layer interconnects extending in a first direction on an Mx layer and Mx+1 layer interconnects extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction on an Mx+1 layer, where x>5. In addition, the IC includes a plurality of power switches. Further, the IC includes at least one sensing element located between the Mx layer and the Mx+1 layer and configured to measure a voltage drop to devices powered by the plurality of power switches. The one or more of the plurality of power switches may be located below the power grid. The power switches of the plurality of power switches may be adjacent in the first direction and in the second direction to each sensing element of the at least one sensing element.
