An Effective Coding Transmission Scheme for Defect-involved TSV Array Transmission

In this paper, a channel transmission scheme using Turbo Product Codes (TPC) is proposed to apply to the Through Silicon Via (TSV) array transmission which has a good repair function for defective TSVs. In this scheme, the information to be transmitted is divided into blocks of two-dimensional binary information bits of size $(k\times k)$, and TPC with the extended Hamming code as the sub-code is performed, forming $(n_{1}\,+1) \times(n_{2}\,+1)$ code block for transmission. The receiver restores and decodes the transmitted blocks by sequentially performing TPC iterative decoding algorithm. In this way, a data link-level transmission coding solution with high throughput, low coding delay and high reliability under the condition of defect-involved TSV array is achieved. The simulation results show that the scheme can overcome the undesirable factor of TSV defect without any redundant TSV based repair methods, and it can have a better transmission performance without increasing the coding complexity and extra overhead.
