3D Integration Initiatives
3D through-silicon via (TSV) design will require significant enhancements to existing 2D design flows and tools, as well as new methods for design exploration and implementation across a 3rd dimension. GSA's EDA/Design Interest Group is collaborating with Si2 to develop a 3D/TSV Standard to help alleviate these challenges. View presentations from our workshop held on October 1st, where nearly 50 attendees across the supply chain gathered to discuss requirements for 3D design flow interoperability. To help this group's efforts, all semiconductor companies and foundries are invited to participate in a brief 3D Integration Survey.
