WEDNESDAY, June 9, 2004, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM | Room: 6D
TOPIC AREA:  NANOMETER ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION

   SESSION 24
  Model Order Reduction and Variational Techniques for Parasitic Analysis
  Chair: Luca Daniel - Massachusetts Institute of Tech, Cambridge, MA
  Organizers: Byron L. Krauter, Vikram Jandhyala

  This session presents new advances in model order reduction and variational techniques for parasitic analysis. The first paper presents an efficient project-and-balance scheme for passivity preserving model order reduction. The next paper presents a linear fractional transform based model for interconnect parametric uncertainty. The third paper extends closed-form moment-based delay and slew metrics to consider back-end process variation. The final paper presents a model order reduction scheme that exploits input information in massively coupled parasitic networks to produce compact models.
