Abstract

Engineering Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Science & Technology Technology
Three-dimensional (3-D) integration is an important technology that addresses fundamental limitations of on-chip interconnects. Several design issues related to 3-D circuits, such as multi-plane synchronization, however, need to be addressed. A comparison of three 3-D clock distribution network topologies is presented in this paper. Experimental results of a 3-D test circuit manufactured by the MIT Lincoln Laboratories are also described. Successful operation of the 3-D test circuit at 1.4 GHz is demonstrated. Clock skew and power dissipation measurements for the different clock topologies are also provided.
