Horizontal interconnects crosstalk optimization

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus generates a plurality of interconnect patterns for a set of longitudinal channels that are occupied by horizontal interconnects. Each interconnect pattern may be different from the other interconnect patterns. Each interconnect pattern may define relative locations for the set of horizontal interconnects and gap channels. Highest crosstalk is determined for each of the interconnect patterns and the interconnect pattern with the minimum highest crosstalk is selected as a preferred pattern. The highest crosstalk may comprise far-end crosstalk or near-end crosstalk and may be calculated for a range of frequencies or for a plurality of frequencies. The crosstalk may be calculated by modeling the interconnects as transmission lines.

1. A method for optimizing interconnects in a semiconductor device, comprising:
generating a plurality of interconnect patterns for configuring a set of interconnects on one or more layers of a circuit board, wherein each interconnect pattern is different from the other interconnect patterns and each interconnect pattern defines a plurality of longitudinal slots including longitudinal slots occupied by the set of interconnects; determining a highest crosstalk for each of the interconnect patterns, wherein the highest crosstalk for the each interconnect pattern corresponds to one of the longitudinal slots; and selecting a preferred interconnect pattern from the plurality of interconnect patterns, wherein the preferred interconnect pattern provides a lower highest crosstalk than the highest crosstalk associated with each of the other interconnect patterns.
