Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, as a novel integrated circuit architecture, a quasi-3D integration scheme, in which time domain is taken as a new integration dimension and combined with a conventional physical 2D integration of the integrated circuit technology, has been established and its effectiveness has been evaluated. Taking multiple-stage 2D image processing circuits as a specific evaluation example, a quasi-3D signal processing architecture composed of an array of unit processing nodes and temporary memory elements acting as time-domain interconnects has been developed. Its superior performance against the conventional parallel processing architecture, in which multiple signal processing layers are simply placed in a 2D integration plane, has been demonstrated.
