Currently, 3D integration of semiconductor chips is introduced into high-volume products. While memory and communication will be leading fields of application, automotive will require specific non-standard solutions some of which are in research or development whereas others have already been introduced to production. This paper elaborates on the different opportunities and constraints of automotive applications, presents different technological options and discusses specific solutions considered in research or found in already existing products.
