Abstract

Three-dimensional integrated circuits, where multiple silicon layers are stacked vertically have emerged recently. The 3D ICs have smaller form factor, shorter and efficient use of wires and allow integration of diverse technologies in the same device. The use of Networks on Chips (NoCs) to connect components in a 3D chip is a necessity. In this short paper, we present an outline on designing application-specific NoCs for 3D ICs.
