Performance comparison between air-gap based coaxial TSV and conventional circular TSV in 3D-ICs

In this paper, performance comparison between Air-Gap Based Coaxial TSV and conventional circular TSV are presented. The comparison shows that the air-gap TSVs reduce the overall parasitic capacitance and the overall energy loss compared to the conventional circular TSV or conventional coaxial TSV.
