                                   temperature; and                                                          
                            a substrate coupled to one of the at least two semiconductor die                 
                                   by a second adhesive, the second adhesive being curable                   
                                   at a second temperature lower than the first temperature;                 
                            wherein each die in the stack of at least two semiconductor die                  
                                   is electrically functional.                                               
                      45. An integrated circuit comprising a stack of at least two                           
                      semiconductor die, each of the die being coupled to an adjacent die in                 
                      the stack by a respective layer of adhesive prior to the stack being

                      least two semiconductor die is electrically functional.                                
                      48. An integrated circuit comprising a stack of at least two                           
                      semiconductor die, each of the die being coupled to an adjacent die in                 
                      the stack by a respective layer of adhesive prior to the stack being                   
                      coupled to a packaging substrate, wherein the stack of at least two                    
                      semiconductor die is configured such that the stack comprises a
