"Dice" is the plural of "die" in the semiconductor industry as much

it is elsewhere. Or, at least, I've seen it repeatedly used as such

objects cut in a regular pattern from a larger one (as opposed to dies
used for casting) as far as I know, but it's a fairly widespread error
in semiconductor discussions.
I'll have to remember that, thanks!
