Abstract
Crosstalk analysis has become an essential part of high performance design in nanometer technologies. Interconnects in nanometer technology have increased resistance and coupling capacitance due to process scaling. The crosstalk pulses are complex and require a new modeling approach. We show that current models such as triangular and Weibull exhibit as much as 31% error in propagated pulse for some crosstalk waves in nanometer technology. We present a methodology based on wave fitting as a model for crosstalk waves. We compare the accuracy of the wave fitting model proposed with existing wave models such as: Weibull, isosceles triangular and trapezoidal. We present the simulation results for different gates in 65nm Bulk CMOS technology and provide a comparison in error statistics for propagated crosstalk pulse. We demonstrate that our approach has a average propagated pulse error of less than 5% and improves the overall crosstalk analysis results by at least 67%.
