There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to study and quantify the major challenges in low power and reliable monolithic 3D IC design and to develop CAD solutions to address these challenges, in order to obtain maximum benefits from this emerging technology. The key design challenges in monolithic 3D ICs covered in this research include thermal modeling and optimization, 3D PDN design and analysis, and addressing inter-tier performance difference and inter-tier interconnect difference in monolithic 3D ICs. In addition, monolithic 3D IC power-performance cost comparison with other technologies is also studied.
