Abstract:
In this talk the notion of 3D NoC will be presented. The combination of 3D
integration and NoC technologies is considered the promising candidate for the
next generation high-performance and low-power on-chip interconnect design. In
particular, the idea of utilizing TSVs for communication among different layers
of 3D NoC is discussed. TSVs support higher bandwidth, smaller form factor,
shorter wire length, lower power, and better performance than simple wires.
They are currently known as the most popular communication mechanism among
planar surfaces of a 3D chip, but they introduce signal integrity problems that
can impact correct operation of the device. This talk will give an overview of
some of the reliability issues for 3D NoCs and discuss new ideas for handling
those problems.
