From Chiplets to Systems: Overcoming the Hidden Pitfalls of 3D IC Design
What does “multiphysics” really mean in 3D IC design—and why is it more important than ever to start early?
What you’ll discover:
Learn how early predictive multiphysics analysis can help prevent thermal, stress, and electrical failures later in the design cycle
Understand the collaboration challenges across die, interposer, packaging, and RTL teams—and how to unify them
Hear real-world insights on how system-level ownership and EDA platforms reduce risk in complex 3D IC projects
Get up to speed on emerging standards like 3D Blocks and 3D PDKs that are shaping the future of chiplet integration
Discover how simulation and digital twin strategies enable more accurate system-level behavior modeling
In this episode of the Siemens 3D IC Podcast, host John McMillan is joined by returning guest John Ferguson, Senior Director of Product Management for Calibre 3D IC Solutions at Siemens EDA, and first-time guest Tarek Ramadhan, Application Engineering Manager for 3D IC Technical Solutions.
Together, they explore why traditional SoC methodologies fall short in the 3D world, how early predictive analysis can save teams from costly late-stage surprises, and why effective collaboration across domains (and companies) is essential. From thermal and stress concerns to data format mismatches and emerging standards like 3D Blocks, this episode delivers powerful insight into future-ready 3D IC design.
👉 Ideal for IC designers, system architects, packaging engineers, RTL and ESD teams, and anyone involved in the transition from 2D to 3D IC workflows.
Find what you’re looking for:
How is the design process shifting from 2D and 2.5D to 3D IC (2:25)
What is multi-physics, and how does it impact 3D IC design? (5:00)
