Abstract(in English) Three-dimensional (3D) stacking technology is attractive for providing another way to improve the performance of the large scale integration (LSI) rather than miniaturization. However, because the through-silicon-via (TSV) of the vertical connection has a large area overhead, it is necessary to reduce the quantity of vertical routing resources that heavily required by the field-programmable gate array (FPGA). In this paper, we first create a face-down stacked FPGA by dividing routing and logic resources into different layers. Then, in order to minimize the number of TSVs and improve integration, face-down stacked FPGAs are connected by high speed serial links. The evaluation on the proposed 3D FPGA is performed with an area-minimized circuit partitioning method. Results show that a four layers 3D FPGA has a 10.78% slower delay while 70.21% smaller area than a 2D FPGA on average.
