Abstract

The wafer-scale 170000-gate fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor described consists of individual repeatable building blocks, each of which contains a processing element (PE) and interconnection wiring. The PE consists of a multiplier accumulator and its built-in self-test circuits. The wafer system is reconfigured by connected active blocks after block self-diagnosis. Blocks are connected using a programmable contact-hole mask. The processor performs parallel 16-bit, eight-point complex FFTs and is implemented with 725 I/O pads in triple-metal 2.3-μm p-well CMOS technology on a 4-in. wafer. It is mounted by controlled-collapse bonding facedown on a 11.8×11.8-cm² substrate
