Abstract :
A CAD-oriented modeling methodology for coupled interconnects on lossy substrates in CMOS technology is presented. The modeling technique is based on a quasi-static EM analysis and an equivalent circuit model extraction and model-order reduction procedure. The response of the SPICE compatible equivalent circuit models is in good agreement with the frequency-dependent transmission line characteristics of the interconnects.
