To improve the yield and the number of TSVs used in spare rows and columns
this paper proposed a sharing structure of adjacent redundancy across dies. Besides
based on the new redundancy sharing structure
a die-selection method stacking alternative memory layers with different number of faults was also presented. Experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly increase memory yield with relatively small area overhead of TSVs.
