Abstract

Serpentines routing has been frequently utilized in multichip module or PCB layout to control the propagation delay of the signal trace. The coupling effect in serpentine structures was indicated by simulation and measurement results to be able to degrade signal quality and change signal flight time. The amount of skew was found to be proportional to the coupling coefficient and parallel length of serpentines
