  • Abstract
    With deeper and faster VLSI technologies, on-chip inductance gained significance in the design of high-speed interconnects. This paper surveys the importance of on-chip inductance, its useful effects and the associated negative drawbacks. It also covers the existing RLC interconnect delay models and optimal repeater insertion methodologies.
