3Dblox Language Reference is an open industry standard being developed with an aim to streamline the multitude of 3DIC packaging solutions that are available in the current semiconductor market.
The 3Dblox Standard captures full 3DIC representation of key logical & physical information with its architecture to enable and unify the four aspects of the design methodology, which are (1) Modularization (2) Top-Down Design methodology (3) Chiplet Reuse (4) Interoperability.
All four aspects synergize together, because modularization and chiplet reuse facilitate design instantiation at chiplet level, simplifying the design into inheritable modules that share the common base design. Tool interoperability significantly reduces design translation overhead among different tools. And the standard introduces key physical and connectivity assertions throughout the top-down design flow to greatly reduce the possible iterations.
In summary, the 3Dblox Standard serves as the main proxy for the above aspects, to be designed and executed.
The Language Reference of 3Dblox Standard contains:
3Dblox Language Requirements and Design Implementation Stages
Language Model
3Dblox Language Syntax
Getting Started with 3Dblox Design Templates and Examples
Benefits that can be expected from 3Dblox Standard:
The representation is able to support 3DIC required design stages and associated downstream design
analyses
Has obtained the support from major EDA vendors for a unified design ecosystem
Is able to replace hundreds of repetitive codes for supported EDA tools
The readily available templates can bootstrap the design starts
Improve customer’s 3DIC design productivity through seamless interoperability among EDA tools and
streamlined design flow
