"3D Network on Chip with multiplexed Through Silicon Vias"
这篇论文发表在2016年的《微处理器与微系统》期刊上，主要探讨了一种3D Network-on-Chip (NoC)设计方法及其性能和制造指标的评估，特别是采用了复用的硅通孔（Through-Silicon Vias, TSVs）。3D NoC是一种在三维结构中集成多芯片通信网络的技术，旨在解决传统二维平面集成电路中的带宽限制和功率效率问题。
3D NoC技术通过堆叠多个芯片并利用TSVs进行垂直互连，极大地提高了数据传输速率和系统性能。TSVs作为3D集成的关键组成部分，能够显著减少互连线长度，降低延迟，并允许更高的I/O密度，从而优化了芯片间的通信效率。
论文中，作者们提出了一套设计流程，包括从早期架构设计到详细性能分析的各个阶段。他们研究了不同类型的流量模式（traffic patterns），这些模式代表了各种计算密集型应用的通信需求，如并行处理、大数据处理和云计算。通过仿真和分析，作者们评估了3D NoC在这些流量模式下的性能表现。
此外，论文还关注了3D NoC的制造考虑因素，如TSV的封装工艺、良率和成本。由于3D集成增加了制造复杂性，因此对TSV的良率分析至关重要。作者们探讨了影响TSV良率的因素，以及这些因素如何影响整个3D NoC的生产成本和可靠性。他们还可能提出了优化策略，以提高制造效率并降低整体系统成本。
关键词包括：3D Network-on-Chip，流量模式，硅通孔，制造良率和成本。这些关键词突出了论文的核心研究内容，即3D NoC在性能、制造工艺和经济性方面的综合考量。
总结而言，这篇论文为3D NoC的设计提供了有价值的理论和实践指导，对于理解3D集成电路的潜力以及如何克服其技术挑战具有重要意义。通过深入研究TSV复用和3D架构的性能，它为未来高性能计算和通信系统的开发提供了新的视角。

, noting that the length of the wires is
assumed to be 200 μm which is similar to that in [17] .
For the TSV technology, the experiments run once for
C
TSV
= 15 fF and another for C
TSV
= 500 fF to cover the whole range
of TSV capacitances and technologies, while the maximum value
for R
TSV
= 1 is selected for all cases [17] .
5.2. Transmission gate transistors
According to Uyemura [25] , transmission gate transistors are
usually selected to have minimum size. Also, as stated in [25] ,
there is no need to decrease R
onP
, hence W
P
= L
P
and K
N
= K
P
= 1 (the
sizes of NMOS and PMOS transistors, respectively) are our design
choices for the transmission gate transistors.
5.3. Threshold voltage selection for the drivers
There are two input thresholds: V
inL −max
and V
inH−min
. V
inL −max
is the maximum low input voltage required to switch PMOS ON
and NMOS OFF at the same time. Therefore if V
in
≤ V
inL −max
, NMOS

will be OFF and PMOS will be ON . The other threshold voltage is
V
inH−min
, which is the minimum high input voltage required to
switch NMOS ON and PMOS OFF at the same time, therefore if V
in
≥ V
inH−min
, NMOS will be ON and PMOS will be OFF . Depending on
the previous definitions, the thresholds can be selected as follows

6. Timing requirements’ analysis
In this section all timing analysis related to TSVBOX-based 3D
NoC is discussed. Timing requirements’ analysis include 3D path
delays, how to choose the selection signal period T
S
, and the rela-
tion between S and the main clock signal.
6.1. 3D signal path Elmore-delay model
The 3D signal path delay for data and S signals in conventional
and TSVBOX-based 3D NoCs can be approximated using first order
Elmore-delay model [23] . The delay for data signals is the time re-
quired for the 3D data signal to reach V
inH−min
= V
DD
−| V
thP
|. The 3D
data signals passing through the conventional or the TSVBOX 3D
paths are to be destined to a 1x-inverter driver load, as shown in
Figs. 6 and 7 , respectively. For S signal, the delay is the time re-
quired for S to reach max( V
thN
, | V
thP
|), because S is destined to the
transmission gate transistors ( PMOS or NMOS ). Hence the voltage
required for S signal to switch either NMOS or PMOS ON is V
thN
or
| V
thP
|, respectively. The maximum of these two voltages is selected
to meet both conditions.
According to Section 5 , the wiring and TSV resistances are in or-
der of ohms, therefore their contribution to the total delay is neg-
ligible. Thus these resistances will be ignored to simplify the delay
analysis in this paper.
6.1.1. Conventional 3D NoC 3D signal delay
Referring to Fig. 6 , the conventional 3D NoC 3D signal path de-
lay ( T
d−Con v
) can be approximated using Elmore-delay as follows:

The TSVBOX has two different paths according to the values
of the S signal. Fig. 8 shows the situation when S = 1 ( S = 0) that
