Scope

The 3D-TEST Workshop focuses exclusively on test of and design-for-test for three-dimensional stacked ICs (3D-SICs), including Systems-in-Package (SiP), Package-on-Package (PoP), and especially 3D-SICs based on Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs). While 3D-SICs offer many attractive advantages with respect to heterogeneous integration, smaller form-factor, higher bandwidth and performance, and lower power dissipation, there are many open issues with respect to testing such products. The 3D-TEST Workshop offers a forum to present and discuss these challenges and (emerging) solutions among researchers and practitioners alike.

3D-TEST will take place in conjunction with the IEEE International Test Conference (ITC) and is sponsored by the Test Technology Technical Council (TTTC) of the IEEE Computer Society.

Workshop Program – The workshop program contains the following elements.

  • Keynote address: “3D Integration: TSV and the Impact on DfT” by Stephane Lecomte, Member of Test Engineering Technical Staff at ST-Ericsson.
  • Invited Address: “3D-Driven System Design – Present and Future”
    by Paul Franzon, Professor, North-Carolina State University.
  • Five sessions with in total 14 paper presentations.
  • Continuous display of posters and table-top demos.
  • A panel discussion with market analysts, editors, and bloggers
    on “The 3D Buzz: Hype versus Reality”.

Keynote Address: 3D Integration: TSV and the Impact on DfT
Stephane Lecomte – ST-Ericsson, FR

3D die-to-die stacking has received a lot of attention recently, as it opens the door to integration of heterogeneous technologies. Among the first challenges were the set-up of a reliable Through-Silicon Via (TSV) technology module, and efficient die stacking and manufacturing processes. Design-for-Test (DfT) requirements had to evolve, to address new challenges as TSVs, top-die access, and die-to-die interconnect coverage. This talk discusses how innovative these new DfT solutions really need to be, in view of short-term 3D applications. We review a few 3D examples made by Leti and ST-Ericsson and their potential future applications in the smart-phone market.

16:45h

Invited Address: 3D-Driven System Design – Present and Future
Paul Franzon – NCSU, USA

After years of research and development, Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) are becoming a manufacturing reality. Soon, a wave a new TSV-based 3D stacked ICs (and “2½D”-stacked ICs) will hit the market, including CMOS image sensors, memory cubes, stacked FPGAs, and memory-on-logic. This will be followed by a set of more sophisticated products likely to have a focus on heterogeneous integration. For digital systems, one particularly benefit for going into the third dimension is reduced power consumption. However, to justify the investment it must be possible to achieve power savings of 25% or more. This cannot be achieved solely through shorter wires! 3D-specific design solutions are needed. A particular complexity in 3D integration is that designs that might be assembled into a 3D stack are likely to be designed at different times and places. This creates the need for common interface IP and interchange standards. The requirements and progress towards these will be presented and discussed.

The 3D Buzz: Hype versus Reality

Panelists:

Ira Feldman – Principal Consultant, Feldman Engineering Corp., USA
Herb Reiter – President, eda2asic, USA
Jan Vardaman – CEO, TechSearch International, Inc., USA
Paul Werbaneth – Executive Consultant, Semiconductor Technologies, USA

You’ve read their market reports and columns, attended their presentations, subscribed to their blogs, and followed them on LinkedIn and Twitter. They may not be the ones making the manufacturing decisions about when to implement 3D technologies, but they’ve certainly done their part in influencing key decision makers in semiconductor device manufacturing, guiding them on path to 2.5D and 3D ICs through their analysis, research, words and observations. They are the analysts and journalist/bloggers who have been following different aspects of the 3D story for years. We’ve gathered four of them to share their perspective on what’s hype and what’s really in the march towards commercialization of 3D ICs.
