摘要
An overview is given on a comprehensive analysis of the thermal effects in advanced high-performance interconnect systems arising due to self-heating under various circuit conditions, including electrostatic discharge (ESD). The impact of these thermal effects on the design (driver sizing) and optimization of the interconnect length between repeaters at the global-tier signal lines are highlighted. Furthermore, the reliability implications for minimum-sized vias in ultimately buffered signal nets are quantified.
