摘要
A new empirical model for multilevel interconnect capacitance is presented. This is the first model that allows designers to compute capacitances of arbitrary complex metal geometries. Such flexibility is achieved by a novel strategy of constructing complex geometries from simple primitive cells. Agreement with accurate simulations and measurements is within 8% over an extensive range of dimensions.
