3D Tutorial
Three dimensional chips stacked using Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology has been under consideration and the subject of intensive research for several years now. This tutorial is included in the conference technical program registration. Presentation materials will be provided on a USB drive.
This tutorial covers the technology, applications, design and CAD for 3DIC. The technology will be introduced, including TSVs, face to face technologies, integration options and interposers. Applications will be discussed as driven by cost, performance and power efficiency needs.
Examples will be given from the commercial world and the author’s own research. CAD and CAD-driven design will be covered including verification, test, and thermal evaluation.
Topics that will be covered are:
