Abstract

The majority of the existing 3D IC research has focused on how to take advantage of the performance, power, smaller form-factor, and heterogeneous integration benefits offered by 3D integration. However, all such advantages will ultimately have to be translatee into cost savings when a design strategy has to be decided. Consequently, system-level cost analysis at the early design stage is imperative to help the decision making on whether 3D integration should be adopted. In this chapter, we discuss the design estimation method for 3D ICs at the early design stage. We also describe a cost analysis model to study the cost implication for 3D ICs and address cost-related problems for 3D IC design.
