Three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs) are semiconductor devices where multiple layers of circuits are vertically stacked to form a single, compact unit. This vertical stacking allows for higher integration density, enhanced performance, and a smaller footprint compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) ICs.

The primary components of three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs) include through-glass vias (TGVs), silicon vias (TSVs), and others. Through-glass vias are tiny holes or channels created through a glass substrate to enable electrical signals to pass between different layers of a 3D IC, using glass as an insulating material due to its dielectric properties. The technology types include 3D stacked integrated circuits (ICs), monolithic 3D integrable circuits (ICs), and various integration and packaging types for applications such as aerospace and industrial, telecommunication and information technology (IT), automotive, consumer electronics, medical, industrial, and others.
