Abstract

An exhaustive analysis of the frequency-dependent series resistance associated with the on-chip interconnects is presented. This analysis allows the identification of the regions where the resistance curves present different trending due to variations in the current distribution. Furthermore, it is explained the apparent discrepancy of experimental curves with the well-known square-root-of-frequency models for the resistance considering the skin-effect. Measurement results up to 40 GHz show that models involving terms proportional to the square root of frequency are valid provided that the section of the interconnect where the current is flowing is appropriately represented.
