New efficient algorithms for computing effective capacitance
We describe a novel iterationless approach for computing the effective capacitance of an interconnect load at a driving gate output. Our new approach is considerably faster than p...

Shielding effect of on-chip interconnect inductance
—Interconnect inductance introduces a shielding effect which decreases the effective capacitance seen by the driver of a circuit, reducing the gate delay. A model of the effectiv...
