The objective of this research program is to develop new, highly innovative, accurate and reliable numerical methods for the efficient simulation of high-speed microelectronic system interconnections (MSI). Simulations based on circuit theory have been effective for verifying signal integrity in systems operating at maximal speeds determined by constituent devices such as logic gates and transistors. However, with today's shrinking feature sizes and increasing clock frequencies, a limiting factor for many high-speed microelectronic system designs is interconnection delays rather than device switching speeds. Further, interconnection effects such as reflection, cross-talk, dispersion and attenuation are now leading sources of signal corruption and a significant cause of system performance degradation at higher operating speeds. Standard circuit analysis and conventional simulation techniques are not sufficient for accurately predicting microelectronic system performance when these conditions prevail. Today, the state-of the-art in MSI research lies in the development of innovative numerical methods capable of accurately, efficiently and reliably simulating the interconnection electromagnetic waveforms within the sophisticated 3-D micro-fabricated structures of modern high-speed microelectronic systems. Moreover, when this information is produced effectively it can have a major impact by significantly reducing the overall time and cost of the design process.***The study of the electromagnetic behaviour of MSI structures is a critical component for the synthesis and design of present and future generations of high-speed microelectronic circuits and systems. The overall goal of this research is to develop advanced high-performance computing methods capable of efficiently simulating the electromagnetic behavior of increasingly realistic models of microelectronic systems over future generations of hardware that will become available. Ultimately, this research is intended to benefit the microelectronics industry by providing practical and effective simulation tools that can be used with confidence to predict the performance of newly proposed designs to within specified engineering tolerances in a timely fashion. **

该研究计划的目的是开发新的，高度创新，准确和可靠的数值方法，以有效地模拟高速微电体系统互连（MSI）。基于电路理论的模拟对于以由逻辑门和晶体管等组成设备确定的最大速度的系统中的系统中有效验证信号完整性。但是，随着当今的缩小尺寸和时钟频率的增加，许多高速微电子系统设计的限制因素是互连延迟，而不是设备切换速度。此外，诸如反射，交叉言论，分散和衰减之类的互连效应现在是信号损坏的主要来源，也是较高的工作速度下系统性能退化的重要原因。标准电路分析和常规仿真技术不足以准确预测这些条件盛行时的微电系统性能。如今，MSI研究中的最新技术在于开发能够准确，有效，可靠地模拟现代高速微电源系统现代高速微型微型系统的复杂3-D微型制造结构中的互连电磁波形的创新数值方法的发展。此外，当有效地生成这些信息时，它可以通过显着降低设计过程的整体时间和成本来产生重大影响。以及后代的高速微电子电路和系统。这项研究的总体目标是开发能够在未来几代硬件上有效模拟微型系统越来越现实模型的电磁行为的高级高性能计算方法。最终，这项研究旨在通过提供实用有效的仿真工具来使微电子行业受益，这些工具可以自信地使用，以及时预测新提出的设计的性能。 **
