ABSTRACT
The 3DIC design world is blooming with new ideas and new possibilities. With TSMC's 3DFabricTM technology, new opportunities in architectural innovation have led to superior system performance and density. However, what comes with the new opportunities is the continuous rise in design complexity.
In this talk, we will introduce 3Dblox, our latest invention to ease the design complexity challenge. The 3Dblox is an innovative design language that modularizes the complex 3DIC structures to streamline the design flow, and is open and free to all industry participants. All 4 EDA vendors, including Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys, and Siemens have actively participated in this effort to provide a unified design ecosystem to unleash the ultimate 3DIC design productivity.

Improving Performance under Process and Voltage Variations in Near-Threshold Computing Using 3D ICs
Near-threshold computing (NTC) circuits have been shown to offer significant energy efficiency and power benefits but with a huge performance penalty. This performance loss exacerbates if process and voltage variations are considered. In this article, ...
Power benefit study for ultra-high density transistor-level monolithic 3D ICs
DAC '13: Proceedings of the 50th Annual Design Automation ConferenceThe nano-scale 3D interconnects available in monolithic 3D IC technology enable ultra-high density device integration at the individual transistor-level. In this paper we demonstrate the power benefits of transistor-level monolithic 3D designs. We first ...
