Abstract :
The author addresses some of the problems encountered in propagating high-speed signals on lossy transmission lines of thin-film substrates for multichip modules. With the flexibility of rubber-band routing and the efficiency of a dynamic data representation based on constrained Delaunay triangulation, lossy and unterminated transmission lines can be generated that successfully propagate high speed signals. A substrate layout system, named SURF, is being developed for thin-film multichip module (MCM) substrate design
