Abstract Focused on soft error issue in 3D integrated circuits, this paper analyzed particles tracks and characters when highenergy particles get into 3D stacking chips, and then presented a kind of 3D stacking technologybased reliable Cache architecture R3DCache after analyzing soft error vulnerability of each component of Caches. The R3DCache can greatly reduce error rate with little area and performance overheads. The analysis results show that the proposed structure can bring down soft error rate of Caches to 5% of original one with 0.52% to 4.17% area overhead, while the performance overhead can be ignored.
