Weighted minihypers have recently received a lot of attention. They originated as geometrical equivalents of linear codes meeting the Griesmer bound, but have also been investigated for their importance in solving geometrical problems. Storme characterized weighted {δ(q+1), δ; k−1, q}-minihypers, q square, as a sum of lines and Baer subgeometries PG(3, √ q), provided δ is sufficiently small. Th...

This paper examines the recently introduced chargebased capacitance measurement (CBCM) technique through use of a three-dimensional (3-D) interconnect simulator. This method can be used in conjunction with simulation at early process development stages to provide designers with accurate parasitic interconnect capacitances. Metal to substrate, interwire, and interlayer capacitances are each disc...
