Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit package system comprises: providing a first integrated circuit die; attaching a second integrated circuit die over the first integrated circuit die and offset from the first integrated circuit die in substantially one dimension; forming an interdie layer over the second integrated circuit die; attaching a third integrated circuit die over the interdie layer and substantially aligned to the second integrated circuit die; and attaching a fourth integrated circuit die over the third integrated circuit die and offset from the third integrated circuit die in substantially the same magnitude and substantially the opposite direction as the second integrated circuit die to the first integrated circuit die.
