ESD verification for 2.5D and 3D ICs

Ensuring your integrated circuit (IC) design can withstand electrostatic discharge (ESD) events without incurring damage or failure is an extremely important activity in IC circuit design and verification. While automated flows for ESD verification are well-established for regular 2D ICs, 2.5D and 3D integration presents new challenges in both ESD design and verification. The new automated ESD verification methodology in Calibre 3DPERC (die2die) effectively and accurately addresses the emerging challenges for ESD robustness in 2.5/3D IC designs.
