Two or more integrated circuit dies that are stacked on top of each other. The access mechanism connects only to the bottom die. The classic definition that has emerged for 3D ICs is logic on logic, connected with through-silicon vias (TSV). But there are other iterations of this idea, ranging from package-on-package (PoP), homogeneous memory... » read more| Semiconductor Engineering
2.5D is a packaging methodology for including multiple die inside the same package The approach typically has been used for applications where performance and low power are critical. Communication between chips is accomplished using either a silicon or organic interposer, typically a chip or layer with through-silicon vias for communication. While communication between chips is... » read more| Semiconductor Engineering
