3-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) technology places circuit blocks in the vertical dimension in addition to the conventional horizontal plane. Compared to conventional plan...
Heat dissipation is one of the most serious challenges in 3D IC designs. One effective way of reducing circuit temperature is to introduce thermal through-the-silicon (TTS) vias....
Three-dimensional Network-on-Chip (3-D NoC) is an emerging research topic exploring the network architecture of 3-D ICs that stack several smaller wafers for reducing wire length ...
—Three-dimensional network-on-chip (3D NoC), the combination of NoC and die-stacking 3D IC technology, is motivated to achieve lower latency, lower power consumption, and higher ...
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...
