High-speed electrical design study for 3D-IC packaging technology
As the advance of the packaging technology for the electrical consuming demands, it requires for more functions or increasing the density of devices within a smaller space. By the capabilities of the 3D-IC technology, it could support a design included smaller size, high-speed and multi-functions. One of the 3D-IC techs, the stacking with Through-Silicon-Via (TSV), plays a very important role. It shortens the path, and hence, increases the bandwidth of the device. In this study, we evaluate the TSV effects in usual high-speed electrical designs. There are two issues, the impedance-control and isolation. By using the EM simulation solver, we estimate the performances of different designed models about these two issues. And, this result should have the benefits for the development on the designs in the interposer substrates used for 3D-IC technology.
