Scale of GSI interconnections is continually shrinking toward dimensions
comparable with the mean free path of the electrons.
At the same time, interconnects operate at higher frequencies such that skin
depth becomes in the same order of mfp of electrons.

o A capacitor is a passive
electronic component that stores
energy in the form of an
electrostatic field.
9
In its simplest form, a capacitor consists of two conducting
plates separated by an insulating material called the
dielectric. The capacitance is directly proportional to the
surface areas of the plates, and is inversely proportional
to the separation between the plates.

• Transmission line effects should be considered when the rise or fall time of
the input signal (tr ,tf) is smaller than the time-of-flight of the transmission line
(tflight).
tr (tf) << 2.5 tflight
• Transmission line effects should only be considered when the total
resistance of the wire is limited:
R < 5 Z0
• The transmission line is considered lossless when the total resistance is
substantially smaller than the characteristic impedance
R < Z0 /2
