Loop-based interconnect modeling and optimization approach for multigigahertz clock network design.

A highly efficient loop-based interconnect modeling methodology is proposed for multigigahertz clock network design and optimization. Closed-form loop resistance and inductance models are proposed for fully shielded global clock interconnect structures, which capture high-frequency effects including...
