The dependence of the propagation delay of the interlayer 3-D interconnects on the vertical through via location and length is investigated. For a variable vertical through via lo...
As technology advances, the interconnect delay among modules plays dominant role in chip performance. Buffer insertion, as a traditional approach to reduce wire delay in 2D ICs, i...
Thermal problems and limitations on interlayer via densities are important design constraints on three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), and need to be considered during g...
As technology advances, 3D ICs are introduced for alleviating the interconnect problem coming with shrinking feature size and increasing integration density. In 3D ICs, one of the...
3D stacked chips have become a promising integration technology for modern systems. The complexity reached in multi-processor systems has increased the communication delays between...
