On the Accuracy of Return Path Assumption for Loop Inductance Extraction for 0.1µm Technology and Beyond |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
The most common assumption for chip-level inductance extraction is to restrict the current return path to the closest power or ground lines. This paper shows that this assump- tion is not necessarily valid for technologies beyond0.1µm. The actual inductance can exceed twice the value that is ex- tracted from the model considering only the nearest current return paths. Analytical formulae to predict the worst case self inductance are proposed to deal with the errors that re- sult from this assumption. These equations can be used as metrics to decide the size of inductance extraction window for future CAD tools. |
