Title
3DCoB: A new design approach for Monolithic 3D Integrated circuits.
Abstract
3D Monolithic Integration (3DMI) technology provides very high dense vertical interconnects with low parasitics. Previous 3DMI design approaches provide either cell-on-cell or transistor-on-transistor integration. In this paper we present 3D Cell-on-Buffer (3DCoB) as a novel design approach for 3DMI. Our approach provides a fully compatible sign-off physical implementation flow with the conventional 2D tools. We implement our approach on a set of benchmark circuits using 28nm-FDSOI technology. The sign-off performance results show 35% improvement compared to the same 2D design.
