A new timing-driven partitioning-based placement tool for 3D FPGA integration is presented. The circuit is first divided into layers with limited number of inter-layer vias, and then placement is performed on individual layers, while minimizing the delay of critical paths. We use our tool as a platform for exploring potential benefits in terms of delay and wire-length that 3D technologies can offer for FPGA fabrics. We show that 3D integration results in wire-length reduction for FPGA designs. Our empirical analysis shows that wire-length can be reduced by up to 50% using ten layers. Delay reductions are estimated to be more than 30% if multi-segment lengths are employed between layers.
