With the introduction of deep-submicron semiconductor technologies, this picture is undergoing rapid changes. The parasitics effects introduced by the wires display a scaling behavior that differs from the active devices such as transistors, and tend to gain in importance as device dimensions are reduced and circuit speed is increased. In fact, they start to dominate some of the relevant metrics of digital integrated circuits such as speed, energy-consumption, and reliability. This situation is aggravated by the fact that improvements in technology make the production of everlarger die sizes economically feasible, which results in an increase in the average length of an interconnect wire and in the associated parasitic effects. A careful and in-depth analysis of the role and the behavior of the interconnect wire in a semiconductor technology is therefore not only desirable, but even essential.
