Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) stacking of ultra-thin integrated circuits (ICs) is identified as an inevitable solution for future system miniaturization and functional diversification. 3D integration offers a long list of benefits in terms of system form factor, density scaling and multiplication, reduced interconnection latency and power consumption, bandwidth enhancement, and heterogeneous integration of disparate technologies. In this 3D implementation, thinned IC layers are seamlessly bonded with a reliable bonding medium and vertically interconnected with electrical through strata via (TSV). The objective of this chapter is to discuss performance enhancement as well as new integration capabilities brought about by 3D technology, enabling technology platforms, and potential applications made possible by 3D technology.
