Machine Learning Integrated Pseudo-3-D Flow for Monolithic 3-D ICs

Monolithic 3-D (M3-D) IC design is a manufacturing technique that opens several new possibilities of chip design and exploration for power, performance, area (PPA), and cost benefits. Designing a commercially viable M3-D IC first requires a sign-off timing closure capability. Since the commercial tools lack such capability, several 3-D flows have been proposed that treat 3-D as a 2-D die and use c...
