However, such approaches are difficult due to the lack of integrated toolsets capable of meeting both 110 and interconnect needs. Additionally, electronic design automation tools begin to have theoretical and practical limits, mainly due to approximation methods used to solve Maxwell's equations. Gigahertz-speed data transfer rates also translate into tight integration of silicon and interconnects. This increased interdependency makes the traditional approach - designing systems components in isolation - obsolete. 000002358 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002358 691__ $$aOGI School of Science and Engineering$$041365 000002358 692__ $$aOGI Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering$$041409 000002358 7001_ $$aSecasiu, Tudor$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002358 7201_ $$aSolanki, Rajendra$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002358 8564_ $$9148603f8-3995-4b9f-90b9-e100533b272e$$s16729130$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2358/files/3091_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$251313af070f307495220635830e0b5cd$$31 000002358 905__ $$a/rest/prod/gt/54/kn/18/gt54kn18h 000002358 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2358$$pstudent-work 000002358 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
