Preface of Physical Design for 3D Integrated Circuits Book

Three-dimensional (3D) stacking and 2.5D interposer side-by-side integration are very attractive

contenders as we head toward an incommensurate return of interconnects and packaging technology. As demand for on-chip functionalities and requirements for low power operation continue to

increase as a result of the emergence of mobile, wearable, and Internet of Things products, 3D/2.5D

integration has been identified as inevitable in moving forward. The advent of 3D/2.5D integration

is a direct result of active research in academia, research laboratories, and industry over the past

decade. Today, 3D/2.5D integration takes many forms, depending on the applications. At the time

of this writing, there are already commercial products driven by the needs for form factor and

density.

As a direct result of many years of active research, there is substantial documentation on 3D/2.5D

technology. A book dedicated to the physical design for 3D integrated circuits (ICs), however, is

lacking. The idea for a book on physical design for 3D ICs dates back more than a year ago. While

the initial idea was to write a book, we soon realized that such an endeavor would be extremely challenging given the various expertises in this field. We revisited the plan and decided to edit a book

instead, with contributions from experts in academia, research laboratories, and industry. After

careful planning, we identified and invited contributions from an impressive lineup of highly qualified researchers. The task took a full year from planning, writing, editing, and printing.

This book aims to unveil how to effectively and optimally design such 3D circuits. It also presents the design tools for 3D circuits, while exploiting the benefits of 3D technology. Initially, an

overview of physical design challenges with respect to conventional 2D circuits is provided, and

then each chapter is dedicated to provide an in-depth look into each physical design topic. Physical

Design for 3D Integrated Circuits is the first book to analyze the design tools for 3D ICs covering

all design aspects and explaining the challenges and solutions unique for 3D circuits. This book is

particularly beneficial to researchers and engineers who are already working or are beginning to

work on 3D technology.

This book would not have been possible without a team of highly qualified and dedicated people. We are particularly grateful to Kris Iniewski for initiating this undertaking and for his encouragement. Nora Konopka and Jessica Vakili worked alongside us and provided us with the necessary editorial support. Aida Todri-Sanial is grateful for the continued support for her work on 3D integration from the French National Research Agency (ANR) and strong collaborations with CEA-LETI, France. Chuan Seng Tan is grateful for the continued support for his work on 3D integration in Singapore from the Ministry of Defense (MINDEF), the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and the National Research Foundation (NRF). This book would not have been possible without this extended research support. Last but not least, we are extremely thankful to the authors who accepted our invitation and contributed chapters to this book.
