Abstract :
On-chip transmission lines or wafer-level package (WLP) lines can provide near speed of light signal propagation and are an attractive interconnect option for high-speed and low-power communication. In this paper we propose an application dependent optimization strategy to an appropriate selection of interconnect option from a set of interconnect technology options. The strategy is applied to a set of micro-strip lines and the most appropriate option for a high-speed application and a low-power application is selected
