Abstract
An electronic design automation method implemented in a computing system is provided for creating a physical connections netlist for a pre-floorplan partitioned design file of 3D integrated circuits. The inputs are a 3D stack defining the topology of multiple dies, and a given design partitioning. The design partitioning defines the logic implemented in each die. The method identifies through-silicon-vias (TSVs), bump pins (BPs) and net connections.
