A Comprehensive Approach to 3D IC Physical Verification: Tackling DRC, LVS and Beyond
As the industry pushes toward ever-greater levels of semiconductor performance, integration and efficiency, the promise of 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs) stands out as a true game-changer. By stacking dies and embracing heterogeneous integration, 3D ICs make it possible to create compact, power-efficient systems far beyond what can be achieved...
Multi Physics Analysis of 3D Integrated Circuits
3D integration is becoming a valuable alternative to the ongoing, yet challenging, transistor scaling known as Moore’s Law. This is especially true for semiconductor products that are becoming limited by single die designs (e.g., in terms of form factor, size, and technology node). Homogenous 2.5D-IC approaches help bring about the...

How AiP Technology Helps Enable 5G and More
For 5G smartphones and other millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications, antenna integration, either through antenna-in-package (AiP) or antenna-on-package (AoP) technologies, simplifies the challenges associated with designing products that operate at these high frequencies. A variety of AiP/AoP design methodologies provide the required form, fit, and function for these applications and can include...
System-on-Chip Disintegration is Underway
We have known for some time that with scaling coming to an end the industry would need to find another way to continue moving forward. One of the options is known as SoC disintegration, which is when a system-on-chip (SoC) is disintegrated into its functional parts and then connect these...
