AgenticECO: An Agentic Framework for ECO on 3D Integrated Circuits
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.03738v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Moore's law slows, the industry is turning to three-dimensional integration; yet in merged 3D-IC flows, routed designs expose bond-level defects with no 2D analogue, and post-route engineering change orders (ECO) remain manual, expertise-bound work. Worse, the standard edit-then-fully-reroute practice entangles a repair with router churn, so a signoff number cannot be attributed to the edit that motivated it. We present AgenticECO, an evidence-gated tool-using agent workflow for 3D-IC ECO on the open-source TaiWei flow, paired with EcoRoute, a
