Abstract

With the interconnect analysis using the LSI performance prediction model, the local and global line structures are optimized from 0.18 to 0.1 μm generations. The chip size enlargement with the wider global line pitch and the inserted repeaters are calculated. It is cleared that both low-ρ and low-k materials are necessary to restrain the chip size enlargement in 0.1 μm generation.
