A methodology is presented for on-chip power grid modeling with uncompromised electromagnetic accuracy. The proposed methodology avoids the painstaking and error-prone process of power grid inductance extraction. Furthermore, the model is developed directly from the differential form of Maxwell's equations, and thus avoids the dense-matrix issues that arise when PEEC-based electromagnetic models are utilized. Finally, it has the unique attribute that, in addition to providing for on-chip power switching modeling with electromagnetic accuracy it enables the direct modeling of distributed power-grid induced electromagnetic interference.

Phase skew in high speed differential signals caused by local spatial variation in dielectric constant is presented. A simple mathematical model that allows estimation of the impact on multi-Gb/s signaling links is developed, along with HSpice models that correlate to frequency domain measurements. Options for mitigating the impacts are also discussed.

A two dimensional frequency domain transmission line matrix method (TLM) is used to model a parallel plate environment (or power-ground plane) with a slot which radiates into free space. A simple method of moments is employed to model the slot radiation in conjunction with TLM. A via wall waveguide with a slot is used as a test vehicle and results are compared to measurements.

A new method for validating interconnect performance has been demonstrated. The use of DOE permitted timely acquisition of data by optimizing the number of experiments (measurements) needed. The model fitting (RSM) of the data allowed for confident prediction across all high volume conditions, even though every case could not be tested. There were a number of new learnings and huge extensions to the ability to understand and characterize bus performance. One key learning was that buffer compensation works very well. Note that the edge rate at the receiver shows little variation across all measured conditions. In addition, the RSM models predict very little impact to setup/hold margins due to process and temperature. The RSM models also showed that motherboard length, motherboard impedance, and termination voltage have the most impact on FSB performance. This correlates very well with simulated interconnect results.

The self-consistent frequency-dependent dielectric constant, /spl epsiv//sub r/(f), and dielectric loss, tan/spl delta/(f), are determined over the range 2 to 30 GHz using a short-pulse propagation technique and an iterative extraction based on a rational function expansion. Simulations of signal propagation on printed circuit board wiring using transmission-line models based on these results show very good agreement with measured step and pulse time-domain excitations.

In this paper, we present common emitter LNAs (low noise amplifiers) in system-on-package for 5GHz WLAN application. Innovation of this module is that it is chip-package co-designed and co-simulated with performance trade-offs for on-chip versus off-chip passive component integration. It thus provides an optimal total solution for embedded RF electronics in system-level integration. Analytical equations for key performance parameters, noise figure and gain, of these LNAs are developed as functions of quality factors of passive components and the package parasitics. They hence provide designers a quantitative trade-off for on-chip versus off chip passive components integration in Sod design. The final module is composed of on-chip active components in 0.5/spl mu/m SiGe BiCMOS technology and off-chip passive components integrated in MCM-D substrate. Significant improvement in performance is found in these co-designed LNAs than those in single-chip LNAs.

A full-wave time domain integral equation formulation for the simulation of finite conductors and dielectrics, linked to linear and non-linear lumped elements, is presented. The method permits coupled rigorous simulation including accounting for EMI and non-linearities in the presence of material effects. In addition, a new quadrature scheme is incorporated for exactly computing temporal delays between every section of finite basis functions defined over triangular patches. This enables finer time step resolution for non-uniform meshes than is permissible with standard Gaussian quadrature and singularity extraction.
