is the intent of this workshop to report on recent developments and
approaches in the field of interconnect simulation and measurement on chip=
s
as well as on boards and packages.
The workshop will be held in English. The committee looks forward to your
participation.
The topics of the workshop are:
- Ground Effects
- Substrate Influence on Signal Propagation
- Measurement and Modeling
- Simulation of Interconnects
- Parameter Extraction and Modeling
