Due to the inherent nature of heat flow in 3D integrated circuits, stacked dies exhibit a wide range of thermal characteristics. The strong dependence of leakage with temperature...
Three-dimensional ICs promise to significantly extend the scale of system integration and facilitate new-generation electronics. However, progress in commercial 3D ICs has been s...
Abstract— Thermal issues are a primary concern in the threedimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) design. Temperature, area, and wire length must be simultaneously optimized du...
