    Abstract: An example embodiment provides a design method of an integrated circuit, including: placing a through-via; determining a keep-out zone around the through-via based on a saturated current variation rate according to a distance from the through-via; placing standard cells; determining a cell placed within the keep out zone among the cells; and setting a timing margin based on the distance from the through-via to the cell.

    Abstract: A method of designing a 3D integrated circuit includes generating a distance-delay table with respect to at least one of a first chip or a second chip stacked on the first chip, based on a thermal analysis result, calculating a first timing path distance with respect to a first timing path corresponding to the first chip in a 3D signal transfer path, calculating a second timing path distance with respect to a second timing path corresponding to the second chip in the 3D signal transfer path, calculating a 3D timing path distance by summing the first timing path distance and the second timing path distance, and setting a temperature margin with respect to a 3D timing path based on the distance-delay table and the 3D timing path distance.
