Circuit-Aware On-chip Inductance Extraction

چکیده
In this paper we propose a practical approach for on-chip inductance extraction. This approach differs from previous methods in that it uses circuit characteristics to obtain a sparse, stable and symmetric inductance matrix, using the concept of resistance dominant and inductance dominant lines. Experimental results show that only the important inductance terms related to strong inductance couplings are included in the sparsified inductance matrix to ensure a specified predefined accuracy. For a good design, the sparsification can reach 95% by setting an acceptable delay error of 10% and oscillation magnitude error of 2%.

Efficient PEEC-Based Inductance Extraction Using Circuit-Aware Techniques
Practical approaches for on-chip inductance extraction to obtain a sparse, stable and accurate inverse inductance matrix K are proposed. The novelty of our work is in using circuit characteristics to define the concept of resistance-dominant and inductancedominant lines. This notion is used to progressively refine a set of clusters that are inductively tightly-coupled. For reasonable designs, t...

And have found that it is complete and satisfactory in all aspects, and that any and all revisions required by final examining committee have been made. Abstract As technologies shrink further, operating frequencies increase, and low-k dielectrics are introduced to diminish capacitive effects, on-chip inductance effects become more and more dominant in VLSI circuits. The accurate extraction, si...

We propose two practical approaches for on-chip inductance extraction to obtain a highly sparsified and accurate inverse inductance matrix K. Both approaches differ from previous methods in that they use circuit characteristics to obtain a sparse, stable and symmetric K, using the concept of resistance-dominant and inductance-dominant lines. Specifically, they begin by finding inductance-domina...
متن کاملHow to Efficiently Capture On-Chip Inductance Effects: Introducing a New Circuit Element K
On-chip inductance extraction and analysis is becoming increasing critical. Inductance extraction can be difficult, cumbersome and impractical on large designs as inductance depends on the current return path — which is typically unknown prior to extracting and simulating the circuit model. In this paper, we propose a new circuit element, K, to model inductance effects, at the same time being e...
