— Since re-designing and re-optimizing existing logic, memory, and IP blocks in a 3D fashion significantly increases design cost, nearterm three-dimensional integrated circuit (...
— 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...
Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) offer a promising solution to overcome the on-chip communication bottleneck and improve performance over traditional two-dimensional...
The capability of predicting the temperature profile is critically important for timing estimation, leakage reduction, power estimation, hotspot avoidance and reliability concerns ...
Most previous 3D IC research focused on “stacking” traditional 2D silicon layers, so the interconnect reduction is limited to interblock delays. In this paper, we propose tech...
