Electrical Parameters L 2 L 1 Wire length L 1 < L 2 R 1 R 2 C 1 C 2 For wire width W 1= W 2, what is the relation between R 1 and R 2 (or C 1 and C 2)? Why ? Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -8
Interconnect Geometric Parameters w: width l: length t: thickness h: height (to next conducting layer) s: spacing w+s: pitch t/w: aspect ratio Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. current 4 -9
Geometries in Six Metal Layers (t/w) Current technoloies: longer (h) (h) shorter -high resitance (l >> t or w) -high capacitance (h and s small) (h) Topdown Side-by -side Remember h is the inter layer distance!!! Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -10
Geometries in Six Metal Layers (t/w) Pitches: longer (h) -Metal 6– 1, 72 mm (h) -Metal 1 – 0, 5 mm (h) shorter (h) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -11

Fringing Fields : classic parallel plate capacitance There exist more exact (complex) empirical formulas to take into account the fringing effects fringing effect bottom plate effect Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -16
Multilayer Capacitance Model 1 Upper-bound capacitance value: to consider the upper e lower layer as a substrate plate (conservative calculus) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -17
Example for Model 1 Obs. w and s are given as multiples of the minimum values (design rules) to the layer. This number increases for higher level layers!! Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -18
Example for Model 1 Ex. by design rules - for Metal 1, w minimum is 3 l= 3 X (180/2)= 270 nm -For Metal 6, w minimum is 10 l= =900 nm Also, the larger the width w of the plate, the larger the capacitance. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -19
Multilayer Capacitance Model 2 Lower-bound capacitance value: to consider the substrate below and nothing above (optimistic calculus) Layer n Substrate Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -20
Example for Model 2 Obs. w and s are given as multiples of the minimum values (design rules) to the layer. This number increases for higher level layers!! Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -21
Example for Model 2 Ex. by design rules - for Metal 1, w minimum is 3 l= 3 X (180/2)= 270 nm -For Metal 6, w minimum is 10 l= =900 nm Also, the larger the width w of the plate, the larger the capacitance. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -22
Metal 2 Example Model 1: - lower effect for s - higher effect for w Model 2: - higher effect for s - lower effect for w Copyright © 2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4 -23
