Impedance characteristics of power distribution grids in nanoscale integrated circuits.

Impedance characteristics of power distribution grids in nanoscale integrated circuits.

The essential design characteristic of nanoscale integrated circuits is increased interconnect complexity. Conductors at different levels of the interconnect hierarchy have highly different physical and, consequently, electrical characteristics. These interconnect lines also exhibit inductive behavi...
