Abstract This chapter covers the placement solutions for 2.5-D/3-D integrated circuits. Based on a partition technique, our placement techniques could handle VLSI circuits consisting of both standard cells and macros. The detailed result analysis justifies the potential of the 2.5-D integration approach to improve system performance and lower interconnect power consumption.
