Simulation and modeling of the effect of substrate conductivity on coupling inductance and circuit crosstalk

The goal of this work was to simulate the effect of the finite conductivity of semiconductor substrates on the on-chip coupling inductance and then to investigate the effect of the on-chip coupling inductance on circuit crosstalk. In addition, the limitations of standard approaches for estimating coupling inductance are examined. A method for the reduction of the coupling inductance and its effect on circuit crosstalk is also discussed.
