A multilevel dynamic interconnect model was derived for accurate a priori signal integrity estimates. Cross-talk and delay estimations over interconnects in deep submicron technology were analyzed systematically using this model. Good accuracy and excellent time-efficiency were found compared with electromagnetic simulations. We aim to build a dynamic interconnect library with this model to facilitate the interconnect issues for future VLSI design.
