摘要
On-chip inductance impact on signal integrity, complicated by process variations, becomes challenging for global interconnects in nanometer designs. Simulation and analysis of on-chip buses are presented for the impact of inductance in the presence of process variations. Results show that in 90nm technology there is significant inductive impact on max-timing (similar to 9% push-out vs. RC delay) and noise (similar to 2x RC noise). Device and interconnect variations add similar to 4% into RLC max-timing impact, while their impact on RLC signal noise is non-appreciable.
