  • Abstract
    A model is proposed to mitigate the communication problem in 3D integrated circuits caused by the breaks at the through-silicon vias (TSVs). Using a low-complexity network, the introduction of redundant TSVs makes it possible to reroute around breaks to maintain effective communication between layers.
