Chip integration methodology for the IBM S/390 G5 and G6 custom microprocessors

High frequency processor designs operating at more than 500 MHz and of significant architectural complexity require custom physical design constraints from the inception of the design. New technology introductions such as copper interconnect wiring improve performance but also add complexity in grou...

Description
Summary:High frequency processor designs operating at more than 500 MHz and of significant architectural complexity require custom physical design constraints from the inception of the design. New technology introductions such as copper interconnect wiring improve performance but also add complexity in ground rules and wiring.
