3D ICs with Cu through-silicon vias (TSV) are getting a lot of attention, but some issues relating to potential damage still have to be worked out -- e.g., having Cu and Si in such close proximity can lead to physical stresses, and their fabrication processes can cause damage too. IBM researchers
about a DFM methodology that bridges the dimensional gaps between chip-scale and package-scale stress-induced effects in 3D TSV packaging designs. The method -- developed to address the failures in both finite element analysis and empirical modeling
SEMATECH experts reported on innovative processes for advanced CMOS logic and memory device technologies and 3D TSV manufacturing at the International VLSI Technology, System and Applications Symposium (VLSI-TSA).
PoP provides a cost/performance solution that solves business and logistics issues associated with stacking devices directly. 3D TSV , with its associated uncertainties, cannot yet meet PoP's benefits, says TechSearch International (TSI).
Interposers (vias are etched in a Si - or glass – wafer with no active die; this application also includes LEDs submounts) -- 3D TSV “stack” / “ground vias” (vias are etched in the active die for dies such as logic, memories) -- 3D WLP for CMOS Image
level integration (including package co-design & software competencies, SiP module assembly, passive integration and 3D TSV / WLP capabilities) will be key to leverage a high added value solution to final OEM customers as well as an efficient infrastructure

Addressing 2.5/3D product rumors Rumors abound that TSMC is designing the Apple A6 processor for iPads and iPhones with 3D TSV . When asked to comment on this, or whether Samsung was also offering TSV in their design of the A6, TSMC’s Yu offered the
drain doping and other issues affect device performance. [Paper #6.1: "3D-Carrier Profiling in FinFETs Using Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy" Next slide: Hollow copper 3D TSVs Previous slide: FinFETs for sub-20nm SoCs
option that may see greater adoption at the 22nm technology node is some form of 3D stacking of memory and logic with TSVs. 3D TSV is often touted as the way to achieve higher bandwidth, greater performance and lower power, but business and infrastructure
