3D IC (Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuit) Wiki
by Daniel Nenni on 07-12-2025 at 3:50 pm

A 3D Integrated Circuit (3D IC) is a device in which two or more active electronic layers (dies or wafers) are vertically stacked and interconnected to function as a single integrated system. These layers are interconnected using fine-pitch vertical interconnects, such as Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) or hybrid bonds, allowing… Read More
