    Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

    A three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) is a MOS (metal-oxide semiconductor) integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by stacking as many as 16 or more ICs and interconnecting them vertically using, for instance, through-silicon vias (TSVs) or Cu-Cu connections, so that they behave as a single device to achieve performance improvements at reduced power and smaller footprint than conventional two dimensional processes. The 3D IC is one of several 3D integration schemes that exploit the z-direction to achieve electrical performance benefits in microelectronics and nanoelectronics. 3D integrated circuits can be classified by their level of interconnect hierarchy at the global (package), intermediate (bond pad) and local (transistor) level. In general, 3D integration is a broad term that includes such technologies as 3D wafer-level packaging (3DWLP); 2. 5D and 3D interposer-based integration; 3D stacked ICs (3D-SICs); 3D heterogeneous integration; and 3D systems integration.

        1. Wait, or is that the answer to life, the universe, and everything? I always get my profound revelations mixed up.

          The meaning of life pertains to the significance of living or existence in general, and is sought through the question "What is the meaning of life? " Many other related questions include: "Why are we here? ", "What is life all about? ", or "What is the purpose of existence? " There have been many proposed answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds.
