Abstract :
Compact physical models are derived for the delay and crosstalk of on-chip coplanar transmission lines, which are used in state-of-the-art high-speed microprocessors. These lines are mainly used for long global interconnects that are relatively thick and wide and have prominent inductive effects. The models are then used to optimize the design of coplanar global interconnects.
