Abstract :
This paper concentrates on some of these new challenges that designers must face in power delivery. We will discuss QUALCOMM´s effort with EDA vendors to develop power distribution network (PDN) analysis flows in order to address the power delivery issues in 3DICs, and emphasize the necessity of a standard reduced power model (SRPM) to enable the 3D PDN analysis flows.
