Abstract

Integrating circuits in the vertical direction can alleviate interconnect related problems and enable heterogeneous chips to be stacked in a single package with a small form factor. This paper addresses the power delivery issues in 3D chips revealing some interesting facts and design challenges. A multi-story power delivery technique that can reduce the worst case DC noise by 45% and lower the overhead power consumed in the power supply network by 65% is proposed. A test chip layout in an SOI process, showing a 5.3% area overhead, demonstrates the feasibility of the scheme.
