ABSTRACT
As
CMOS chips are scaled to deep submicron dimensions, interconnects
increasingly limit performance. Achieving performance requirements can
lead to an explosion in the number of wiring levels required.
Alternative approaches to limiting long wire delay and reducing the
number of wiring levels are discussed. Tradeoffs in interconnect
strategies are compared.
