3D packaging via System-On-Package (SOP) is a viable alternative to System-On-Chip (SOC) to meet the rigorous requirements of today’s mixed signal system integration. In this wo...
— The recent popularity of 3D IC technology stems from its enhanced performance capabilities and reduced wirelength. However, wire congestion and thermal issues are exacerbated d...
With aggressive reductions in feature sizes and the integration of multiple functionalities on the same die, bottlenecks due to I/O pin limitations have become a severe issue in to...
In the design of complex power distribution networks (PDN) with multiple power islands, it is required that the PDN represents a low impedance as seen by the digital modules. This...
