Abstract
Advancements in the field of VLSI have lead to more compact digital circuits with higher clock rates. Yet, they become more sensitive to noise, especially when those ones are generated by interconnection lines networks when lines are submitted to diaphonic or coupling phenomena; resulting then in the apparition of propagation delays through the lines or noise voltages known as crosstalk. In order to quantify, limit or suppress those coupling effects, integrated circuits designers try to propose interconnection lines model more and more precise at the condition they could be easily incorporated in simulation tools. In this context, to evaluate noise voltages characteristics, an analytical interconnection lines model is proposed in this manuscript. It is based on the quasi-TEM propagation modes existing in an interconnect network and also on a correlation method allowing a description of the network with 1st and 2nd order filters.
