The so-called Environmental Sample Processor, ESPniagara, sits on the floor of Lake Erie’s western basin. It collects algae from the surrounding water, analyzes microcystin—a small, circular liver-toxic protein—and uploads results for researchers at the end of every test. They’re watching this toxin closely, because elevated levels of it could swiftly poison the water supply for humans, and wildlife in the surrounding area.
 3D-IC Design Challenges and RequirementsSponsored by Cadence Design Systems While there is great interest in 3D-IC technology, it is still in its early phases. Standard definitions are lacking, the supply chain ecosystem is in flux, and design, analysis, verification, and test challenges need to be resolved. Read this paper to learn about design challenges, ecosystem requirements, and needed solutions. While various types of multi-die packages have been available for many years, this paper focuses on 3D integration and packaging of multiple stacked dies. |
