A DfT architecture for 3D-SICs based on a standardizable die wrapper

Process technology developments enable the creation of three-dimensional stacked ICs (3D-SICs) interconnected by means of Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs). This paper presents a 3D Design-for-Test (DfT) architecture for such 3D-SICs that allows prebond die testing as well as mid-bond and post-bond stack testing. The architecture enables a modular...
