Abstract-Two dimensional (2D) integration has been the traditional approach for IC integration. Increasing demands for providing electronic devices with superior performance and fu...
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....
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...
: Thermal issue is a critical challenge in 3D IC circuit design. Incorporating thermal vias into 3D IC is a promising way to mitigate thermal issues by lowering down the thermal re...
