Three-Dimensional VLSI System with Self-Restoration Function

Research Project Outline

We aim to develop a new dependable VLSI by employing a three-dimensional (3D) LSI and highly parallel processing which can provide functions of self-restoration, self-organization, self-repair, reconfiguration and self-test. This new VLSI has function generators with look-up tables which generate redundancy and self-test circuits. A part of these redundancy and self-test circuits are dynamically converted to functional logic circuits to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of LSI.
