EPEP'97 ADVANCED PROGRAM

6th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging

EPEP '97

Sponsored by

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society

and

The IEEE Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology Society

October 27 - 29, 1997
The Wyndham Hotel
San Jose, California

INTRODUCTION

The 6th 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 practicing
engineers from industries, 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 forum (poster) for
one-on-one discussions.

Two important topics are being highlighted this year through two
dedicated
sessions for each. These are the need for developing fast and accurate
full-chip wiring parameter extraction tools and the need for new
developments in the modeling and simulation techniques that can handle
increasingly larger portions of the system packaging. Both topics are
generated by the shifting boundaries of the various chip and package
integration levels and higher performance requirements. Six invited
talks
address important topics such as cost-performance, and power
distribution
considerations in medium and high-performance servers and workstations;
on-chip interconnect modeling; efficiency improvements in modeling and
simulation tools.

Informal interactions are greatly encouraged during the time available
between sessions and at the evening open forum and museum excursion.
Five
short courses are also offered the day before the start of the meeting.
The tutorials are given by well-known experts in the field and cover
important aspects of electrical packaging design, modeling, and
characterization.

The Meeting Chairs thank the authors, presenters, 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 company sponsorships are greatly appreciated.

San Jose

San Jose is the capitol of the Silicon Valley, the mecca of the nation's
high technology industry. It is a dynamic city celebrating an extensive
downtown renaissance. Many original 19th century structures still stand.
Some 125 parks and gardens grace the city. One highly unusual
attraction
is the beautiful, bizarre Winchester Mystery House with its labyrinth of
160 rooms and mind-boggling architectural oddities.

Short Course 1 - Sunday, October 26, 1997 from 8:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE DESIGN AND MODELING

Lecturers

John H. Magerlein, Albert E. Ruehli
IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center

OBJECTIVE

This short course will introduce the electronic package designer to the
fundamentals of radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) and to
design and modeling techniques and tools which can minimize EMI. At
the conclusion of the course, the student should understand the
importance of package design decisions in reducing EMI and should be
familiar with the basic types of EMI design tools which are available.

CONTENT

The course will attempt to answer the following questions:

* What is electromagnetic interference, why is it important, and why
is it becoming a more difficult problem as clock frequencies increase?

* What are the factors in the design of an electronic package which
are likely to influence radiated EMI?

* What general types of design tools are available to the electronic
package
designer to help in making decisions regarding EMI? What are the
strengths and weaknesses of each type?

* What are the mathematical methods available for the rigorous
simulation
of EMI and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

* What is the best way to use rigorous simulation in EMI design? We
will
include examples of the successful use of simulation based on the
practical experience of the instructors.

The class will be run informally with time for questions from the
attendees.

He has worked at IBM on many different projects which include
mathematical analysis, semiconductor circuits and devices, and manager
of a VLSI design and CAD group. Since 1972, he has been at the IBM
T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, where he now is a
Research Staff Member in the electromagnetic analysis group.

He has served in numerous capacities for the IEEE. In 1984-1985 he

Short Course 2 - Sunday, October 26, 1997 from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

TRANSMISSION-LINE EFFECTS IN ON-CHIP INTERCONNECTIONS

Lecturer

Alina Deutsch
IBM T. J. Watson Research Center

OBJECTIVE

The intent of this short tutorial presentation is to introduce
the attendees to the need for taking transmission line effects
into account accurate delay and crosstalk prediction on short, medium,
and long on-chip interconnections. At the conclusion of the lecture,
the participant should understand the benefits of optimized
wiring cross section, control of inductance and resistance of
ground return path, performance-driven routers and wiring rules with
multiple constraints, wiring rules, and frequency-dependent equivalent
circuit synthesis for coupled lines.
The presentation should be of interest to the circuit designers
working on high-performance microprocessor chips and to package
engineers who want to help the chip designers achieve clock
frequencies close to 1 GHz and beyond.

CONTENT

The lecture is based on extensive modeling, simulation, and
experimental characterization of representative five- and six-layer
on-chip interconnection structures. The following topics will be
covered:

* Review of high-performance digital interconnections

* Brief theoretical explanation of transmission-line properties

* Three-dimensional modeling examples for R(f)L(f)C matrix extraction

* Frequency-dependent coupled transmission-line model synthesis

* Comparison of measured and simulated waveforms for representative

OBJECTIVE

The intent of this short course is to address important issues of
measurements and equivalent circuit model extraction for the
interconnects in the IC packages and PCBs. Both time and frequency
domain measurements are discussed, and the model extraction and model
verification techniques based on these measurement are presented.
Probing and fixturing issues, that are critical to the measurement
accuracy, are addressed . The role of E&M and standard SPICE-type
simulators in the model verification is discussed.

The course is designed for engineers and researchers who work on
interconnect characterization and signal integrity design and who
are interested to understand how to perform accurate repeatable
measurements of interconnects, as well as learn the interconnect
modeling and model verification techniques.

characterization and modeling, as well as recent research in the area
of equivalent circuit model extraction from measurements.
The following topics will be covered:

* Role of interconnect measurements and modeling in the design
FLOW

* The physical nature of interconnects

of interconnect characterization and modeling. The techniques to be
presented are directly applicable to characterization and modeling
of any passive structures used in high speed/high frequency design,
such as package leads, board traces, connectors, cables and so on.

The class will be run informally and interaction with the attendees
is encouraged. Questions and discussions will be invited.
