The "Martin" project co-designed and built 3D-IC prototype devices in collaboration with 20 participants.  Some devices were built as two-layer chips, others were integrated with 3D memory chips to create multi-layer 3D-ICs.

More photos will be added to this page as they become available.

Cross-section SEM showing two bonded layers.
   Two patterned bands of small dense lines are circuitry.
   Wide dark band near center is the face-to-face bond with bright bondpoints.
   Four bright vertical lines above the circuitry are TSVs.
   Bright horizontal line at top is aluminum surface layer.
