Accurate closed-form expressions for the frequency-dependent line parameters of on-chip interconnects on lossy silicon substrate

摘要

Accurate closed-form expressions for the complete frequency-dependent R, L, G, C line parameters of microstrip lines on lossy silicon substrate are presented. The closed-form expressions for the frequency-dependent series impedance parameters are obtained using a complex image method. The frequency-dependent shunt admittance parameters are expressed in closed form in terms of the shunt capacitances obtained in the low and high frequency limits. The proposed closed-form solutions are shown to be in good agreement with the electromagnetic solutions.
