Double-sided segmented line architecture in 3d integration

TLDR
In this article, a double-sided three-dimensional (3D) hierarchal architecture for multiple semiconductor wafers using an arrangement of through silicon vias (TSVs) and backside wiring is presented.
Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to electronic components such as semiconductor wafers and more particularly, to a double-sided three-dimensional (3D) hierarchal architecture scheme for multiple semiconductor wafers using an arrangement of through silicon vias (TSVs) and backside wiring. In an embodiment a first word line architecture may be formed on a front side of an IC chip and connected to a second word line architecture formed on a back side of the IC chip through intra-wafer, TSVs, thereby relocating required wiring to the back side of the IC chip.
