Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide correction for a defective die in a wafer-to-wafer stack or a die stack. A correction die is coupled to a die of the stack with the defective die. The correction die electrically replaces the defective die. Optionally, a dummy die can be coupled to other die stacks of a wafer-to-wafer stack to adjust a height of the stacks.
