Abstract:Interconnect structures in high speed circuits play an important role in present CMOS technologies. Inductance and capacitance coupling effects (crosstalk) may cause a significant loss in signal integrity in high performance systems. One way to reduce these effects is to place a signal line between two grounded lines (shield). In this paper we study the influence of defective grounding of shielding lines.
We focus on resistive open defects due to manufacturing problems or broken vias. Faulty shields may cause … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
