Abstract
As the feature size is scaled down to 90 nm and below, fundamental modeling changes, such as the nonlinearity and higher frequencies of signals, require driver-load models to take into account propagation delay and slew rates. The conventional single Ceff (one-ramp) with lumped RC model is no longer accurate. In this paper we propose a new multi-ramp model with general RLC interconnects as loads. This new model accurately predicts both the 50% delay and the overall output waveform shape with inductance effects.
