Description:
3D Integration is a promising technology for extending Moore’s momentum in the next decennium, offering higher transistor density, faster interconnects, heterogeneous technology integration, and potentially lower cost and time-to-market. But before 3D chips can be produced, new capabilities are needed: process technology, architectures, design methods and tools, and manufacturing test solutions. The goal of this Workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and others interested in this exciting and rapidly evolving field, in order to update each other on the latest state-of-the-art, exchange ideas, and discuss future challenges.
The workshop program contains the following elements.

SESSION 1 The Promise of Through-Silicon Vias 0930 Invited Talk: Abstract: The twin drivers of all advances in the semiconductor industry have been ever increasing performance and productivity. With tremendous strides in lithography and device development over the last several decades, achieving both has been possible. However, with fundamental issues and cost concerns surrounding new technology elements at 32nm and below the viability of traditional lithography and device scaling to stay on the productivity curve becomes questionable. One of the technologies gaining popularity has been Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) for stacking chips in the third dimension. This presentation will discuss the merits of 3D TSVs, state of the art on 3D, the risks and challenges involved, the timeline, the need for understanding the cost implications and manufacturability, and the necessity for standardisation and classification. Qualcomm’s roadmap for 3D technology is outlined, and the corresponding requirements for a holistic design environment necessary to define and implement optimized 3D products are described. The focus is on the design environment and EDA tools necessary for ‘Stage 1’ class of products, consisting of a functionally partitioned two-die stack. The design environment requirements are segregated into three classes of methodologies and the associated EDA technologies. (a) “TechTuning” technologies required to co-optimize process technology and chip design requirements, and to define and validate the design rules and models required for 3D Design Authoring, |
