Abstract

The effect of noise propagation from a digital circuit on an analog circuit was evaluated using an actual mixed-signal 3D-IC, which has a stacked structure of digital and analog IC chips. The noise propagation through the TSV was measured with a ring-oscillator as a noise source. To investigate in detail, TSV-liner interface states were evaluated along depth direction using unique multi-well-structured TSVs and charge-pumping method. It was considered that the interface traps and non-conformal thickness of TSV liner increased the noise propagation among stacked chips.
