TCAM core design in 3D IC for low matchline capacitance and low power

In S. F. Al-Sarawi (Ed.), Smart Structures, Devices, and Systems III.

By: E. Oh n & P. Franzon n

Ed(s): S. Al-Sarawi

Event: Smart Materials, Nano- and Micro-Smart Systems

author keywords: TCAM (ternary content addressable memory); 3D1C (3-dimentional integrated circuits); integrated circuit interconnect; vertical interconnect; inter-tier via; 3D via; inatchline capacitance; interconnect capacitance; low power TCAM; CAM
TL;DR: 3D vias are used to replace matchlines, whose transition during parallel search operations is a major source of high power consumption in TCAM and field analysis and spice simulation results show that a 40% matchline capacitance reduction and a 23% power reduction can be achieved by using a 3-tier 3D IC structure instead of the conventional 2D approach.
