Design optimization of the multi-layer 3D vertical BGA area is accomplished using an EM solver to obtain the best possible insertion and return losses given manufacturing capabilities. Several different stripline and microstrip pair-to-pair spacings bearing different amounts of coupling were evaluated in terms of eye opening and crosstalk-induced jitter. After full die-to-package-to-board assembly, the performance is measured up to 28G data rate. Both stripline and microstrip pairs were found to exhibit adequate performance.","PeriodicalId":241629,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th Conference on Electrical Performance Of Electronic Packaging And Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115356575","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}

While local grid refinement can be used to overcome this issue, ensuring the stability of the resulting FDTD scheme is not trivial. We present a powerful stability theory for FDTD based on the concept of passivity. The theory is suitable to develop multiresolution FDTD methods with guaranteed stability. A simple and stable subgridding algorithm is derived. Numerical results show its potential for the efficient modeling of skin effect in interconnects.","PeriodicalId":241629,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th Conference on Electrical Performance Of Electronic Packaging And Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128538484","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}

The thermal design point of the system could be relaxed by introducing load-line operation without compromising the performance of these processors.","PeriodicalId":241629,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th Conference on Electrical Performance Of Electronic Packaging And Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124079238","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}

The simultaneous choice in sense and reference centers the load voltage variation between different gated domains providing an optimal solution without increase in maximum voltages.

Under certain assumptions, the two methods coincide.
