About this listen

 What does it take to turn 3D IC from a buzzword into a successful reality, and how early should you start thinking about system-level planning? Get practical insight into why system-level planning is essential from day one of your 3D IC project. You’ll learn how to avoid costly design iterations, streamline collaboration across domains, and accelerate time to market with co-design and early simulation strategies. In this episode of the Siemens 3D IC podcast, host John McMillan sits down with Tony Mastroianni, Advanced Packaging Solutions Director at Siemens EDA. With decades of experience in design, integration, and manufacturing, Tony shares why system-level planning is a critical first step, not an afterthought, when tackling 3D IC projects. They unpack the common pitfalls of treating package design as isolated from system goals and how the shift from chip-centric to system-centric thinking can redefine success in high-density, high-performance integration. Tony also discusses the value of co-design, early simulation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to reduce iterations, control cost, and accelerate time to market. If you're involved in semiconductors, EDA tools, IC packaging, or advanced integration, this episode offers clear, actionable insight into the future of electronics design. Recommended for: System architects, IC designers, semiconductor packaging engineers, EDA tool users, design managers, and anyone working on or interested in 3D IC implementation. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: From a dozen transistors per chip to trillions: What 30 years in the industry can teach you. (1:32) How to realize that 3D IC workflows must change within a company. (5:50) What type of resistance can be expected when implementing design or workflow changes? (07:00) What internal changes are required better to address the cross-disciplinary demands of 3D IC system design?
