Abstract


The available options in 3D IC design and manufacturing have different impact on the cost of a 3D System-on-Chip. Using the 3D cost model developed at IMEC, the cost of different system integration options is analyzed and the cost effectiveness of different technology solutions is demonstrated. The cost model is based on the IMEC 3D integration process flows and includes the cost of manufacturing equipment, fabrication facilities, personnel, and materials. Using the IMEC 3D cost model, the cost of various 3D stacking strategies is compared to single die (i.e. 2D) integration. In addition, the effect on cost of different Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) manufacturing technologies is evaluated. The effectiveness of different 3D testing strategies and their impact on system cost is also investigated.
