Abstract :
Two RF techniques are combined with capacitive coupling interconnect to form ultra-wide-bandwidth impulse interconnect and RF interconnect in 3D IC technology. They achieve 10Gb/s/pin and 11Gb/s/pin transmission with 2.7mW/pin and 4.35mW/pin power consumption, respectively, using the MIT Lincoln Lab 3D 0.18mum CMOS, an 8times improvement over previous work
