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), micro-bumps, and/or interposers. 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 IEEE Computer Society.

Keynote: 3D Solutions In the Coming Age of Terabit Communication
Nicholas Ilyadis � VP and CTO, Broadcom Infrastructure & Networking, USA
As Ethernet switching approaches terabit levels of overall throughput, new paradigms are emerging, along with solutions that encompass 3D fabrication and packaging technologies. TSV/TSI ’s, memory stacks, wafer bonding, heterogeneous device packaging and silicon photonics are driving overall system capacity to new levels. At the same time, these technologies are creating challenges in device testing and yield, downstream final assembly and test, and overall system reliability and serviceability. This talk will target an audience of production and test engineers, exploring technology drivers for 3D solutions and highlighting unique challenges introduced by the progression toward terabit-level communications. |

3D IC stacking is more intricate than 2D assembly and requires elaborate testers to perform fully functional test. Built-in self-test adds cost and takes die real estate. Going to 3D means re-thinking the test strategy from what it was in the past, especially in terms of economics. Panelists from across the test value chain will discuss strategies to address the unique circumstances surrounding 3D IC testing. |
