3-D IC has a great potential for improving circuit performance and degree of integration. It is also an attractive platform for system-on-chip or system-in-package solutions. A cr...
One of the biggest challenges in 3D stacked IC design is heat dissipation. Incorporating thermal vias is a promising method for reducing the temperatures of 3D ICs. The bonding st...
All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
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...
Abstract— 3D circuits have the potential to improve performance over traditional 2D circuits by reducing wirelength and interconnect delay. One major problem with 3D circuits is ...
