It is shown that the impact of substrate effects on time domain signals depends on the substrate conductivity, on the relative position of the ground line with respect to the signal lines as well as on the length of the line system. In addition, the impact of process-related generated voids between closely spaced signal lines on crosstalk is investigated, too.","PeriodicalId":119776,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 8th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121024683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differential and common mode interferences as well as single and double shielded assemblies where grounding pin number directly connected to the cable screen varies are studied. The research methods are FIT simulations and absorbing clamp measurements. It is shown that the symmetry of the differential shielding is important and to suppress common mode interferences high amount of grounding pins is required when unscreened connectors like typical high-speed digital ones are used. Double shielded assemblies leak much less.","PeriodicalId":119776,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 8th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129739555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In deep submicron digital ULSI circuits, the mode conversion analysis is indispensable to identify the signal return path, the return current distribution and therefore, for an accurate inductance modelling which remains a challenging problem (Y. I. Ismael and E. G. Friedman, 2000). On the other hand, switching activity of high speed CMOS circuit may produce large current derivatives in wires (crosstalk) and substrate. These current transients can generate large potential surges and coupled noise. In this mind, a reduction of the mode conversion phenomenon decreases noise in high speed ULSI circuits (Y. Quere et al., 2003). We have investigated the mode conversion, in the frequency domain, for multiple-line inter-layer transitions in CMOS devices. The signal integrity analysis in time domain proved the detrimental effects of mode conversion. Finally, we confirmed that our design rule reduces the mode conversion phenomenon in the case of transition with multiple coupled lines.","PeriodicalId":119776,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 8th IEEE Workshop on Signal Propagation on Interconnects","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129793736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For required electrical parameter of embedded passives (main values) including RF characteristic (resonant frequency, quality factor, 3dB cutoff frequency) the optimized component layout are generated. For electrical simulation respective s-parameter and equivalent circuit model are derived. This synthesis procedure is a break through for modern RF system design.

A very efficient way is starting with the development of an equivalent circuit model for a single wire bond. The electrical model of single interconnect is used to model coupled interconnects. Full wave electromagnetic field computation was used to calculate the S-parameters. S-parameters are very good suitable to extract compact models for radio frequencies (RF).
