With the decrease in feature size of CMOS integrated §circuits, interconnect design has become an §important issue in high speed, high complexity §integrated circuits. Different design methodologies §have been proposed to improve circuit performance. §Wire sizing, driver sizing, repeater insertion, and §wire shaping are common techniques to enhance §circuit performance.§ With increasing signal frequencies and the §corresponding decrease in signal transition times, §the interconnect impedance can behave inductively. §Line inductance introduces new tradeoffs in §interconnect design and driver sizing to decrease §the circuit delay. Different design methodologies §under an inductive environment are described in this §book. Including line inductance in the design §process can enhance both the delay and power as well §as improve the accuracy of the overall design §process. By including the on-chip inductance, the §efficiency of different circuit design techniques §such as wire sizing, driver sizing, repeater §insertion, and line tapering can be greatly §enhanced.
