As integrated circuit (IC) feature sizes scaled below a quarter of a micron, thereby defining the deep submicron (DSM) era, there began a gradual shift in the impact on performance due to the metal interconnections among the active circuit components. Once viewed as merely parasitics in terms of their relevance to the overall circuit behavior, the interconnect can now have a dominant impact on the IC area and performance. Beginning in the late 1980's there was significant research toward better modeling and characterization of the resistance, capacitance and ultimately the inductance of...

Dieses Arbeitsbuch vermittelt anschaulich und leicht verstandlich an Hand von realen technischen Projekten das Modellieren von Freiformgeometrien und deren Umsetzung mit dem System NX 9.0. Die Freiformflachenmodellierung wirdzum Beispiel an Hand einer Kfz-Felge dargestellt. Auf Grund der Schritt-fur-Schritt-Anleitung ist das Buchfur ein Selbststudium besonders gut geeignet."
