  • Abstract
    In this paper, we first compare different configurations of RF 3DICs. Through simulations, we research how different TSV geometries affect the dissipation loss, coupling effect, and group delay of RF signals. We also study electromigration issues of power TSVs. Finally, we demonstrate a TSV spiral inductor with a Q factor of 14.9.
