A Comparative Study of Two Numerical Techniques for Inductance Calculation in Interconnect Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an advanced algorithm for an extraction tool that computes inductances of interconnect structures. As already pointed out in [I] the pursued energy concept leads to a 6-fold integral which can also be evaluated by use of the Monte Carlo method. Classical implementation of the Monte Carlo method, where the whole geometry has to be hunted for the associated element loses efficiency. Our approach is applied without time consuming element location for the random point coordinates to compute this integral.

Inductance model and analysis methodology for high-speed on-chip interconnect
With operating frequencies entering the multi-gigahertz range, inductance has become an important consideration in the design and analysis of on-chip interconnects. In this paper, we present an accurate and efficient inductance modeling and analysis methodology for high-performance interconnect. We determine the critical elements for a PEEC based model by analyzing the current flow in the power...
متن کاملAccurate Analytical Delay Models for VLSI Interconnects
Elmore delay has been widely used to estimate the interconnect delays in the performance-driven synthesis and layout of VLSI routing topologies. For typical RLC interconnections, Elmore delay can deviate signiicantly (by up to 33% or more) from SPICE-computed delay, since it is independent of inductance. We develop an analytical delay model to incorporate inductance eeects into the delay estima...
متن کاملComprehensive Evaluation of Crosstalk and Delay Profiles in VLSI Interconnect Structures with Partially Coupled Lines
In this paper, we present a methodology to explore and evaluate the crosstalk noise and the profile of its variations, and the delay of interconnects through investigation of two groups of interconnect structures in nano scale VLSI circuits. The interconnect structures in the first group are considered to be partially coupled identical lines. In this case, by choosing proper values for differen...
متن کاملOn-chip inductance cons and pros
This paper provides a high level survey of the increasing effects of on-chip inductance. These effects are classified into desirable and nondesirable effects. Among the undesirable effects of on-chip inductance are higher interconnect coupling noise and substrate coupling, challenges for accurate extraction, the required modifications of the infrastructure of CAD tools, and the inevitably slowe...
متن کاملAppropriate Loading Techniques in Finite Element Analysis of Underground Structures
Stability of underground structures is assessed by comparing rock strength with induced stresses resulted from ground stresses. Rock mass surrounding the opening may fail either by fracture or excessive deformation caused. Accurate calculation of induced stresses is therefore fundamental in the stability analysis of an opening. Although numerical methods, particularly finite element method, are...
