Abstract

A simple formula for the estimation of the capacitance of a single interconnection line in VLSI circuits is presented. It is shown that the approximation agrees favorably with the results obtained from much more costly two-dimensional simulations. The approximation is also simpler and more accurate than other approximations that have been proposed.
