This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientist and engineers as well as graduate students in the fields of This conference will be of interest to anyone involved in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Reliability and Quality Management, both in industry and academia. One current challenge to micro- and nanoelectronics is the understanding of stress-related phenomena in 3D IC integration. Stresses arising in 3D TSV interconnects and in the surrounding materials due to thermal mismatch, microstructure changes or process integration can lead to performance reduction, reliability-limiting degradation and failure of microelectronic products. Understanding stress-related phenomena in new materials used for 3D integration and packaging, particularly using through silicon vias and microbumps, is critical for future microelectronic products. Management of mechanical stress is one of the key enablers for the successful implementation of 3D-integrated circuits using through silicon vias (TSVs). The potential stress-related impact of the 3D integration process on the device characteristics must be understood and shared, and designers need a solution for managing stress. The Proceedings summarize new research results and advances in basic understanding of stress-induced phenomena in 3D IC integration. Modelling and simulation capabilities as well as materials characterization are demonstrated to evaluate the effect of stress on product performance.

Download or read book Microstructure and Processing Effects on Stress and Reliability for Through silicon Vias TSVs in 3D Integrated Circuits written by Tengfei Jiang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Copper (Cu) Through-silicon via (TSV) is a key enabling element that provides the vertical connection between stacked dies in three-dimensional (3D) integration. The thermal expansion mismatch between Cu and Si induces complex stresses in and around the TSV structures, which can degrade the performance and reliability of 3DICs and are key concerns for technology development. In this dissertation, the effects of Cu microstructure and processing conditions on the stress characteristics and reliability of the TSV structure are studied. First, the stress characteristics of Cu TSV structures are investigated using the substrate curvature method. The substrate curvature measurement was supplemented by microstructure and finite element analyses (FEA) to investigate the mechanisms for the linear and nonlinear stress-temperature behaviors observed for the TSV structure. Implications of the near surface stress on carrier mobility change and device keep-out zone (KOZ) are discussed. Second, via extrusion, an important yield and reliability issue for 3D integration, is analyzed. Synchrotron x-ray microdiffraction technique was introduced for direct measurements of local stress and material behaviors in and around the TSV. Local plasticity near the top of the via was observed which provided direct experimental evidence to support the plasticity mechanism of via extrusion. An analytical model and FEA were used to analyze via extrusion based on local plasticity. Next, the effect of Cu microstructure effect on the thermomechanical behaviors of TSVs is investigated. The contribution from grain boundary and interfacial diffusion on via extrusion and the relaxation mechanisms are discussed. Potential approaches to minimize via extrusion are proposed. Finally, the stress characteristics of 3D die stack structures are studied using synchrotron x-ray microdiffraction. High resolution stress mappings were performed and verified by finite element analysis (FEA). FEA was further developed to estimate the stress effect on device mobility changes and the warpage of the integrated structure.

Download or read book Placement for Fast and Reliable Through silicon via TSV Based 3D IC Layouts written by Krit Athikulwongse and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to explore the feasibility of addressing the major performance and reliability problems or issues, such as wirelength, stress-induced carrier mobility variation, temperature, and quality trade-offs, found in three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) that use through-silicon vias (TSVs) at placement stage. Four main works that support this goal are included. In the first work, wirelength of TSV-based 3D ICs is the main focus. In the second work, stress-induced carrier mobility variation in TSV-based 3D ICs is examined. In the third work, temperature inside TSV-based 3D ICs is investigated. In the final work, the quality trade-offs of TSV-based 3D-IC designs are explored. In the first work, a force-directed, 3D, and gate-level placement algorithm that efficiently handles TSVs is developed. The experiments based on synthesized benchmarks indicate that the developed algorithm helps generate GDSII layouts of 3D-IC designs that are optimized in terms of wirelength. In addition, the impact of TSVs on other physical aspects of 3D-IC designs is also studied by analyzing the GDSII layouts. In the second work, the model for carrier mobility variation caused by TSV and STI stresses is developed as well as the timing analysis flow considering the stresses. The impact of TSV and STI stresses on carrier mobility variation and performance of 3D ICs is studied. Furthermore, a TSV-stress-driven, force-directed, and 3D placement algorithm is developed. It exploits carrier mobility variation, caused by stress around TSVs after fabrication, to improve the timing and area objectives during placement. In addition, the impact of keep-out zone (KOZ) around TSVs on stress, carrier mobility variation, area, wirelength, and performance of 3D ICs is studied. In the third work, two temperature-aware global placement algorithms are developed. They exploit die-to-die thermal coupling in 3D ICs to improve temperature during placement. In addition, a framework used to evaluate the results from temperature-aware global placements is developed. The main component of the framework is a GDSII-level thermal analysis that considers all structures inside a TSV-based 3D IC while computing temperature. The developed placers are compared with several state-of-the-art placers published in recent literature. The experimental results indicate that the developed algorithms help improve the temperature of 3D ICs effectively. In the final work, three block-level design styles for TSV-based die-to-wafer bonded 3D ICs are discussed. Several 3D-IC layouts in the three styles are manually designed. The main difference among these layouts is the position of TSVs. Finally, the area, wirelength, timing, power, temperature, and mechanical stress of all layouts are compared to explore the trade-offs of layout quality.
