A model for IR-drop in PDNs of 3D ICs with two tiers. Draft

This paper is an extension of a previous published paper from the author. The methods and assumptions to find analytical expressions of IR-drop in 3D PDNs are essentially the same and can be summarized as follows: power and ground PDNs can be considered as conducting planes with given constant sheet...

Descrição
Resumo:This paper is an extension of a previous published paper from the author. The methods and assumptions to find analytical expressions of IR-drop in 3D PDNs are essentially the same and can be summarized as follows: power and ground PDNs can be considered as conducting planes with given constant sheet resistance RS; the whole digital circuit can be divided in rectangular portions (blocks) of given dimensions and having constant current density J [A/m2]; power and ground pads are distributed at arbitrary places on top of the top tier.
