Title
Interconnect characteristics of 2.5-D system integration scheme
Abstract
Growing number of excessively long on-chip wires in modern monolithic ICs is a byproduct of growing chip size. To address this problem instead of placing all systems components in one layer (i.e. in 2-D space) one can use a stack of single layer monolithic ICs (called here a 2.5-D integrated IC). To assess the potential benefits of such a 2.5-D integration schema this paper compares wire length distributions, obtained for 2-D and 2.5-D implementations of benchmark circuits. In the assessment two newly developed floorplanning and placement tools were used. Significant reductions in both total wirelength and worst-case wirelength was observed for the systems implemented as 2.5-D ICs.
