Design Obfuscation Through 3-D Split Fabrication With Smart Partitioning

IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, 30(9), 1230–1243.

By: T. Nigussie *, J. Schabel *, S. Lipa n, L. McIlrath *, R. Patti * & P. Franzon n 

author keywords: Split-manufacturing; partitioning; design obfuscation; hybrid bonding; 3-D integrated circuit (3DIC)
topics (OpenAlex): Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and Hardware Security; Integrated Circuits and Semiconductor Failure Analysis; Electrostatic Discharge in Electronics
TL;DR: The results show that it should take more than 10 years to reconstruct the netlist using a brute-force attack if an adversary obtains either the fabricated wafers or their GDS. (via Semantic Scholar)

Design for 3D Stacked Circuits

By: P. Franzon n , W. Davis n, E. Rotenberg n , J. Stevens n, S. Lipa n, T. Nigussie n, H. Pan  n, L. Baker n ...

topics (OpenAlex): 3D IC and TSV technologies; Semiconductor materials and devices; Interconnection Networks and Systems
TL;DR: 2.5D and 3D technologies can give rise to a node equivalent of scaling due to improved connectivity because of improved connectivity, but design issues that need to be addressed in pursuing such exploitations include thermal management, design for test and computer aided design.
