Inter-tier Dynamic Coupling and RF Crosstalk in 3D Sequential Integration
Résumé
For the first time, an in-depth analysis of the intertier dynamic coupling and RF crosstalk of digital circuits in 3D sequential integration enables to conclude on the need of a Ground Plane (GP) for various applications. Experiments in conjunction with TCAD simulations reveal the parasitic capacitances responsible for the dynamic coupling effects and their impact is investigated for a 3D sequential 2-bitcell SRAM cell circuit configuration. Furthermore, we show a greater than 20dB suppression up to 100GHz of the inter-tier RF crosstalk, achieved by the addition of a strategically designed polysilicon Ground Plane between active device layers enabling the possibility of heterogeneous 3DSI integration without metallic Ground Plane. We propose a technological solution to create experimentally a 34nm-thick polysilicon GP of 1.8x10 20 at/cm 3 n-doping and 295Ω/sq sheet resistance.
