Abstract :
The asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique is utilized for performance evaluation and optimization of interconnect circuits consisting of both lumped and distributed elements. An efficient method for distributed element sensitivity, a gradient based optimization scheme, and several techniques to enhance both efficiency and accuracy of simulation performance are presented and evaluated in this paper
