Abstract :
A high-speed VLSI interconnection is modeled by using a generic distributed-RLC tree. Through a detailed analysis of the distributed-RLC tree a two-pole approximation system is established. Relating the solution of the two-pole approximation to the interconnection geometric parameters, a VLSI performance-driven layout problem is formulated which reveals the interplay between the interconnection performance and its geometrical parameters
