Abstract
This paper reviews the thermal challenges in 2.5D/3D chiplet integration systems and introduces ATSim, a simulation framework with applications to chiplet thermal optimization. ATSim enables fast and accurate thermal simulation for both steady-state and transient conditions. It supports nonlinear, heterogeneous, and anisotropic materials. The framework features a multilevel grid generation scheme based on a novel hybrid tree structure. Compared to mainstream academic and commercial tools, ATSim achieves high accuracy and efficiency, making it a powerful tool for evaluating and improving thermal designs, including applications like thermal-aware placement.
