  • Characterization and Modeling of TSV Based 3-D Integrated Circuits
    Characterization and Modeling of TSV Based 3-D Integrated Circuits by Ioannis Savidis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor Eby G. Friedman Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Arts, Sciences and Engineering Edmund J. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences University of Rochester Rochester, New York 2013 ii © 2013 Copyright by Ioannis Savidis All rights reserved iii Dedication To my family. My achievements are but an indication of your love and support. iv Biographical Sketch Ioannis Savidis was born in Rochester, New York in December 1982. He received the B.S.E. degree in electrical and com- puter engineering and biomedical engineer- ing from Duke University, Durham, NC, in 2005. He received the M.Sc. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, in 2007. He pursued his research in high performance integrated circuits for the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering under the guidance of Professor Eby G. Friedman. He interned at Freescale Semiconductor Corporation, Austin, TX during the summers of 2006 and 2007, where he worked on the electrical characterization and modeling of interplane 3-D vias. During the summers of 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 he interned at v the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, where he worked on elec- trical characterization and modeling, reticle design, and DC and high frequency electrical measurements of test vehicles implementing various interplane 3-D via topologies. His research interests include analysis, modeling, and design methodologies for high perfor- mance digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits, emerging integrated circuit technolo- gies, and interconnect related issues, with an emphasis on electrical and thermal modeling and characterization, signal and power integrity, and power and clock delivery for 3-D IC technologies.

  • Great Microprocessors of the Past and Present Editor's Note: John's Remote Copy May Be More Up-To-Date
    Great Microprocessors of the Past and Present Editor's Note: John's Remote Copy may be more up-to-date. Great Microprocessors of the Past and Present (V 11.7.0) last major update: February 2000 last minor update: February 2000 Feel free to send me comments at (new email address): [email protected] Laugh at my own amateur attempt at designing a processor architecture at: http://www.cs.uregina.ca/~bayko/design/design.html Introduction: What's a "Great CPU"? This list is not intended to be an exhaustive compilation of microprocessors, but rather a description of designs that are either unique (such as the RCA 1802, Acorn ARM, or INMOS Transputer), or representative designs typical of the period (such as the 6502 or 8080, 68000, and R2000). Not necessarily the first of their kind, or the best. A microprocessor generally means a CPU on a single silicon chip, but exceptions have been made (and are documented) when the CPU includes particularly interesting design ideas, and is generally the result of the microprocessor design philosophy. However, towards the more modern designs, design from other fields overlap, and this criterion becomes rather fuzzy. In addition, parts that used to be separate (FPU, MMU) are now usually considered part of the CPU design. Another note on terminology - because of the muddling of the term "RISC" by marketroids, I've avoided using those terms here to refer to architectures. And anyway, there are in fact four architecture families, not two. So I use "memory-data" and "load-store" to refer to CISC and RISC architectures.
