Interwoven clock transmission lines and devices employing the same

摘要

An integrated circuit device includes a substrate and a side-by-side grouping of clock signal lines on the substrate. The side-by-side grouping includes at least three multi-segment clock signal lines that are substantially uniformly capacitively coupled to each other over a majority of their lengths. Electrical jumpers and conductive vias are used to link segments of each clock signal line together and achieve an interwoven relationship of the clock signal lines within the side-by-side grouping.
