摘要: Certain non-square dies, such as triangular greatly elongated rectangular parallelogram trapezoidal, and the like, are able to be laid out in area of a circular semiconductor wafer more "efficiently" than square dies. Further, peripheral these certain dies is advantageously increased relative contained within area, accommodate I/O connections active elements die.
