High-Speed VLSI Interconnections
Chapter One
Preliminary Concepts and More
In this chapter, some of the basic concepts and techniques used in this book are
presented. The chapter is organized as follows:
Various types of interconnections employed in very large scale integration
(VLSI) applications are discussed in Section 1.1.
Advantages and challenges posed by the copper interconnections and the
techniques used for their fabrication are presented in Section 1.2.
Method of images used to find the Green's function matrix in Chapter 2 is
presented in Section 1.3.
Method of moments used to determine the various interconnection capacitances
in Chapter 2 is discussed in Section 1.4.
Even- and odd-mode capacitances for two and three coupled conductors are
discussed in Section 1.5.
Transmission line equations are derived and coupled tran ... read full excerpt from High-Speed VLSI Interconnections ebook
