Abstract

A method of making a semiconductor device includes determining a temperature profile for a first die of a three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC). The method further includes identifying a plurality of sub-regions of the first die based on the determined temperature profile. The method further includes simulating operation of a circuit in a second die of the 3DIC based on the determined temperature profile and a corresponding sub-region of the plurality of sub-regions. The method further includes manufacturing the semiconductor device.
