EU Supported Projects Project officially started February 1st 2011 Budget: 26 M€ with 8 M€ from EU over 4 years
WP 3:3D interconnection The aim is to build a demonstrator of a 3D vertically integrated pixel sensor, which provides a tool to qualify the technologies that are involved in 3D integration and makes them accessible to the community. WP3 plans to follow a “via last ” approach to 3D integration to build a 2-layer device in heterogeneous technologies, where the two layers are fabricated independently, and TSVs (Through Silicon Vias) and interconnections are made as the last steps of the process. Budget: ~ 800 k€ (EU contribution) 17
Program & Institutes Participants: CERN, CEA, CNRS, MPG-MPP, UBONN, INFN, AGH-UST, CISC, UB, UU, STFC Associates: IPASCR, NTUA, UNIGLA, UNILIV, FOM 18

CMOS readout circuits for 3D integration • Possible Manufacturers: • IBM (via CERN),IBM (via MOSIS), Chartered (via Equipic), Tezzaron/Chartered 3D (via CMP/CMC/MOSIS), UMC, AMS (via EUROPRACTICE), others • Possible selection criteria: • CMOS technology node (350nm, 250nm, 130nm, 90nm…) • Full wafer access (postprocessing for 3D interconnection) • Possible via CERN (IBM) or CMP(?) • Other possibility: use/modify existing chip (e.g. MEDIPIX3) 20
Post processing and interconnection • Workshop in Bergamo (May 23): • Contributions from: • CAE LETI • CMP • Fraunhofer EMFT • Fraunhofer IZM • IMEC • T-Micro • VTT Maturity (service or R&D) Projection - Fine pitch, via density Plan: select process best adapted for AIDA WP3 goals within the next 6 months 21
Conclusions • European industry and research institutes offer various processes for 3D integration • Shift form basic R&D to ‘service’ • Mainly via last processing (but via middle offered by IMEC) • ‘mature process’ offer rather modest pitch (vias & interconnects) • Fine pitch/hight aspect ration still in R&D stage, but demonstrators being built • Several R&D projects for HEP by European groups: • Mainly for sLHC, ILC, super B-factories • Groups outside HEP show interest (Medipix, x-ray imagers) • EU funded AIDA project explicitly addresses 3D integration • WP3 will be a common platform to bundle and advance the diverse 3D activities in Europe • Emphasis is on heterogeneous technologies (via last), complementary to Fermilabs 3DIC
Europe has 3D structures, too (and much older ones) From Valerio Re – VIPS2010 in Pavia
