Abstract :
This paper investigates the feasibility of differential transmission line interconnects. On-chip differential transmission lines achieve higher speed signal transmission and lower power consumption than RC lines at global interconnects. Differential transmission line interconnects are a key technology for breaking through the limitations of delay and power consumption at global interconnects in exchange for an increase in the interconnect layers.
