Crosstalk Estimation in Dual Aggressor Environment

This paper reveals that repeater insertion not only reduces propagation delay but also reduces crosstalk level in coupled interconnects. Repeaters can therefore be efficiently utilized for reduction in propagation delay and crosstalk noise at a trade-off ...

The paper addresses here the fault model of particular type of manufacturing defects in the metal layers of deep sub-micron (DSM) chips, e.g. conductive particle contamination, bad handling or under-etching defects in the pair of parallel interconnects ...

A complete and accurate method for static timing analysis of deep sub-micron devices in presence of crosstalk is introduced. This scheme provides an efficient platform for fast and accurate static timing verification of large scale transistor and cell ...
