ABSTRACT
In
recent years, the complexity of chip interconnect has become one of the
most significant gating factors affecting chip design and performance.
The minuscule wiring that connects the millions of transistors on
advanced semiconductors can be thought of as the "freeway system" of
the chip. Through these submicroscopic connections, electrical signals
flow to the complex network of transistors and diodes that have been
painstakingly imprinted into the layers of silicon. This article
describes a new approach to chip interconnects.
