Interconnects in VLSI design (Q2736227)

The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEFrom the introduction: This book presents an updated selection of the most representative contributions to the 2nd and 3rd IEEE Workshops on Signal Propagation on Interconnects (SPI) which were held in Travemünde (Baltic See Side), Germany, May 13-15, 1998, and in Titisee-Neustadt (Black Forest), Germany, May 19-21, 1999.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThis publication addresses the need of developers and researchers in the field of VLSI chip and package design. It offers a survey of current problems regarding the influence of interconnect effects on the electrical performance of electronic circuits and suggests innovative solutions. In this sense the present book represents a continuation and a supplement to the first book ``Signal Propagation on Interconnects'', Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe papers in this book cover a wide area of research directions: Beneath the description of general trends they deal with the solution of signal integrity problems, the modeling of interconnects, parameter extraction using calculations and measurements and last but not least actual problems in the field of optical interconnects.
