This paper describes an innovative high-speed optical backboard bus composed of an optical star coupler, optical-transmitter (E/O) modules, optical-receiver (O/E) modules, and optical multimode glass fibers. A highly efficient optical coupling structure with an aspherical lens and a laser diode was designed to achieve coupling efficiency of up to 90%, enabling the distribution of optical signals at up to 1 Gb/s to 32 functional boards. Embedded optical fibers in the printed circuit board are used to achieve precise control of the optical propagation delay time, and permit a high packaging density. E/O and O/E modules are placed with a pitch of about 15 mm. We developed small laser diode and photo diode modules suitable for optical coupling to the end of embedded fibers through the use of an alignment tool. A fabricated 8/spl times/8 prototype optical backboard bus was able to distribute high-speed optical signals of up to 1 Gb/s to function boards with a high packaging density.

This paper addresses the relationship of power transient design with the EMI characteristics of high-performance microprocessors. After a brief review of EMI and its role in modern PC systems, a modeling approach for a complete CPGA package is discussed. The model includes on-chip and on-package decoupling capacitors, multiple power and ground planes for core voltages, C4 bumps, inter-planar vias, and pins. Equivalent SPICE circuit for the chip-package combination is obtained and the results for power transients and frequency domain transfer characteristics are given.

In the past, model order reduction techniques have been successfully employed for 3-D PEEC (Partial Element Equivalent Circuit) interconnect models. This paper explores the difficulties in generating low order models when PEEC-like models include volume filaments to accurately capture skin and proximity effects.

This paper describes the use of a 12/spl times/12 SCM power supply distribution model, a 50/spl times/50 on-chip power bus model, and a distributed switching circuit model to analyze the on-chip power supply noise for high-performance VLSI design. The integrated model provides a complete analysis of the Vdd distribution, and allows designers to identify the hot spots on the chip and optimize design variables to minimize the noise.

In this paper, a closed-form solution is presented for the individual elements of the impedance matrix generated by the application of the Method of Moments to the integral equation solution of shielded multiconductor structures. Using these expressions, impedance matrix fill time is reduced by one to four orders of magnitude.

The rule-based layout parameter extraction (LPE) tools are most often used to extract the full-chip parasitics, but their accuracy strongly depends on how the capacitance models are specified. This paper shows that the generation of accurate capacitance models can be automated with thousands of field-solver simulations and nonlinear regression. The fundamental limitations of LPE tools are discussed. Finally, a 3D Monte-Carlo field solver is used to validate and further improve the LPE results.
