INTRODUCTION

The 8th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic
Packaging
provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest
advances
in electrical design, analysis and characterization of on-chip and
packaging
interconnections and structures for digital, mixed signal, RF, microwave
and
mm-wave applications. The meeting is aimed at bringing together
researchers
and practical engineers from industry, universities and government
laboratories from around the world to address all current and future
issues
affecting the electrical performance of high-speed electronic systems.
The
conference is organized into thirteen oral sessions and one open poster
forum
for one-on-one discussions.

Two important areas are being addressed in the plenary session on
gigascale
integration and microwave multichip modules to set the stage for the
meeting. In addition, seven invited talks address important topics,
such as
on-chip wiring design challenges, on-chip power distribution,
simultaneous
switching noise, on-chip interconnect modeling and microwave package
modeling. Eight short courses are also being offered on the day prior to
the
start of the meeting. The tutorials are given by well known experts in
the
field and cover important topics such as interconnect design,
measurements,
modeling, characterization and power distribution. A tour of the
ceramic
facility is also being arranged by Kyocera America on the second day of
the
meeting.

Two best student paper awards are being offered this year sponsored by
Intel
Corporation and Kyocera. A total of 10 student papers will be competing
for
these awards. The award selection will be made at the meeting by a
committee. Last year the best student paper award sponsored by Intel
Corporation was given to Mr. Pavan K. Gunupudi from Carleton University
for
his paper entitled, 93Efficient Simulation of High-Speed Distributed
Interconnects Using Krylov-Subspace Techniques 94. Informal
interactions are
greatly encouraged during the time available between sessions, the
evening
open forum and the dinner banquet.

The meeting chairs thank the invited speakers, authors, presenters,
tutorial
instructors and technical program committee members for their
contributions
in putting together such an outstanding technical program. The
sponsorship
of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society and the IEEE
components,
Packaging and Manufacturing Technology Society is acknowledged and the
individual sponsorships are greatly appreciated.

SHORT COURSE 1
Sunday, October 24, 1999 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

High-Speed Digital Interconnect Measurements and Modeling

Lecturers
Steven Corey and Dima Smolyansky, TDA Systems

Objective

The goal of this short course is to address important issues of
measurements
and equivalent circuit model extraction for the interconnects in the IC
packages, and to assist signal integrity engineers in choosing the most
appropriate modeling and simulation tools and techniques for their
designs.
This goal is accomplished by looking at the interaction between model
and
simulator and how it may be used to the designer 92s advantage. Both
time
and frequency domain measurements are discussed, and the model
extraction and
model verification techniques based on these measurements are presented.

Probing and fixturing issues, which are critical to the measurement
accuracy,
are addressed. The role of E&M standard SPICE-type simulators in the
model
verification are discussed.

Content

1 Why interconnects are important: industry trends and consequences
2. Interconnect issues in detail
3. Effective simulation and modeling
4. Measurement-based modeling approach
5. Basics of measurements: TDR and VNA
6. Measurement probing and fixturing
7. Interconnect modeling
8.1 From TDR measurements
8.2 From VNA measurements
9. Examples

Who Should Attend

The course is designed for engineers and researchers who work on
interconnect
characterization and signal integrity design and who are interested in
understanding how
to perform accurate repeatable measurements of interconnects, and learn
about
interconnect modeling and model verification techniques. It is
intended
for engineers
who would prefer to view circuit simulators, and time and frequency
domain
measurement instruments as flexible tools rather than as mysterious
black boxes.
Participants will emerge with an improved rationale for choosing
modeling and
simulation solutions.

SHORT COURSE 2
Sunday, October 24, 1999 from 8:00 am to 12300 p.m.

Recent Progress in Modelling and Simulation of High-Speed Interconnects


Lecturer

Michel Nakhla, Carleton University, Canada

Objective

The intense drive for signal integrity has been at the forefront of
rapid and
new development in CAD algorithms. With increasing demands for high
signal
speeds coupled with a decrease in feature size, interconnect effects
such as
signal delay, distortion and crosstalk become the dominant factors
limiting
overall performance of VLSI systems. On the other hand, interconnect
structures can be diverse and present at any of the hierarchical
packaging
levels including integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, multi-chip
modules and backplanes. If not considered during the design stage,
interconnect effects can cause logic glitches and signals distortion.
Since
extra iterations in the design cycle are costly, accurate prediction of
these
effects is a necessity in high- speed designs. Although conventional
CAD
tools such as SPICE are used routinely by many engineers for analog
simulation and general circuit analysis, these tools do not handle
adequately
the new emerging challenges of interconnect effects. This led to
intense
research during recent years to develop efficient techniques for
accurate
signal integrity analysis associated with high-speed interconnects.

Recently proposed model-reduction techniques, such as Asymptotic
Waveform
Evaluation (AWE), Complex-Frequency Hopping (CFH) and Krylov space-based

methods have proven useful in the analysis of large interconnect
structures
containing lossless and lossy high-speed interconnects with linear or
nonlinear terminations. At a CPU cost of a little more than one DC
analysis,
these techniques are 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than conventional
methods.

This tutorial presents an overview of interconnect modelling/simulation
strategies with emphasis on diverse algorithms and applications of
model-reduction techniques. The underlying basic concepts will be
demonstrated by several practical examples.

Content

The first part of the course covers the basic principles of circuit
simulation. The second part focuses on issues and analysis techniques
related to high-speed circuits and interconnects. Various interconnect
models will be considered, including RC/RLC lumped, distributed,
full-wave,
measured and EMI-based. The basic principles of model- reduction
techniques
will be described in details together with their extension to some
frequently-encountered practical situations, such as simulation of
subcircuits characterized by measured S-parameters and
frequency-dependent
components (e.g. resulting from skin and proximity effects).
Applications
cover wide spectrums of implementation hierarchy including chip,
multichip
modules, packages and printed circuit boards.

Who Should Attend

The tutorial is intended for developers of CAD tools and for circuit
designers as well. It is presented in an easy to understand style and
prior
background in this area is not required.
