—Interconnect inductance introduces a shielding effect which decreases the effective capacitance seen by the driver of a circuit, reducing the gate delay. A model of the effectiv...
This paper presents both compact analytical models and fast SPICE based 3-D electro-thermal simulation methodology to characterize thermal effects due to Joule heating in high per...
— As Double Patterning Technology (DPT) becomes the only solution for 32-nm lithography process, we need to investigate how DPT affects the performance of a chip. In this paper, ...
It is well known that fill insertion adversely affects total and coupling capacitance of interconnects. While grounded fill can be extracted by full-chip extractors, floating ...
