The issues caused by the inclusion of the aforementioned devices in a USB2.0 channel are tackled in the key learnings of this paper. The proposed methods focus on channel design on existing and new signaling. Of note, they maintain design flexibility, while maintaining healthy compliance eye margins. The methods primarily mitigate harmful signal degradation through correct device placement in the channel, tradeoff between device loss and length in mainstream, tablet and phone solutions. Ultimately, this translates into a shift in line with recent platforms' move to extend the usage of the USB2.0 interface into a wider number of applications.","PeriodicalId":130864,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116067775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, several signal integrity issues of the HBM interposer occur due to the manufacturing process constraints. In this paper, we design the HBM interposer using 6 layers redistribution layer (RDL) and TSVs in 2.5D terabyte/s bandwidth graphics module. And then, in the designed HBM interposer, electrical performance of the HBM interposer channels using M1, M3, and M5 layer is analyzed by simulation in the frequency-and time-domain. With the simulation results, it is observed that the designed HBM interposer shows good signal integrity.","PeriodicalId":130864,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125186160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we proposed a method based on 3-D transmission line matrix (3-D TLM) method to calculate heat generation in the lossy silicon substrate caused by TSV induced electrical field. Pseudo random bit sequences (PRBS) at different bit rates are fed into TSVs to simulate the transmitted digital signal. The influence of TSV arrangements and TSV oxide thickness to the heat generation are also investigated in time-domain. With the help of this method, the generation and distribution of heat in the silicon substrate can be predicted.","PeriodicalId":130864,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115280472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
