Abstract
Various embodiments include approaches for designing three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs). In one embodiment, a system is configured to: read an electronic chip identification (ECID) for a plurality of dies formed from distinct wafer lots, the ECID indicating a process performance parameter for each distinct wafer lot; create a reference table mapping a back-bias voltage to be applied to each die to the process performance parameter for each distinct wafer lot; determine performance requirements of a customer design for the 3D IC structure; assemble the design of the 3D IC structure including a set of dies selected from at least two of the distinct wafer lots; and assign a back bias voltage to each die based upon the performance requirements of the customer design and the reference table.
