제목 : Design, Test, and EDA Research for 3D ICs at GTCAD Laboratory

초록 : This talk presents an overview of 3D IC research at the Georgia Tech Computer-Aided Design (GTCAD) laboratory. First, we present 3D-MAPS (3D Massively Parallel Processor with Stacked Memory) V1 processor, a logic+memory 2-tier 3D IC that features 64 general-purpose processor cores and SRAM. This is arguably the first general-purpose many-core 3D processor ever developed in academia and fully tested using real applications. This 3D processor achieves up to 64GB/s memory bandwidth while consuming 4W power. This work is presented at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (2012). Next, we discuss our RTL-to-GDSII CAD tool flow used to build 3D-MAPS processor that is based on various 2D IC commercial tools and our plug-ins to handle 3D ICs. Lastly, we investigate the multi-physics (= thermo-electro-mechanical) reliability issues in through-silicon-via (TSV)-based 3D ICs and develop EDA solutions. We study how to model these complex phenomena, apply them to analyze the reliability of large-scale 3D circuits, and develop full-chip design methods to mitigate the issues.
