  • Abstract
    We investigate key design issues of a low-cost 3D Cu-TSV technology: impact of TSV on MOS devices and interconnect, reliability, thermal hot spots, ESD, signal integrity and impact on circuit performance. We experimentally verify their importance and propose changes in current design practices to enable low-cost systems.
