  Parton distribution functions, which represent the flavor and spin structure
of the nucleon, provide invaluable information in illuminating quantum
chromodynamics in the confinement region. Among various processes that measure
such parton distribution functions, semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering is
regarded as one of the golden channels to access transverse momentum dependent
parton distribution functions, which provide a 3-D view of the nucleon
structure in momentum space. The Jefferson Lab experiment E06-010 focuses on
measuring the target single and double spin asymmetries in the 3He(e, e'pi+,-)X
reaction with a transversely polarized 3He target in Hall A with a 5.89 GeV
electron beam. A leading pion and the scattered electron are detected in
coincidence by the left High-Resolution Spectrometer at 16\circ and the BigBite
spectrometer at 30\circ beam right, respectively. The kinematic coverage
concentrates in the valence quark region, x \sim0.1-0.4, at Q2 \sim 1-3 GeV2.
The Collins and Sivers asymmetries of 3He and neutron are extracted. In this
review, an overview of the experiment and the final results are presented.
Furthermore, an upcoming 12-GeV program with a large acceptance solenoidal
device and the future possibilities at an electron-ion collider are discussed.
