Abstract :
A quasi-static approach for the analysis of microstrip bondwire interconnects is presented. The bondwire has been modelled as a cascade of inhomogeneous and nonuniform transmission lines, using the conformal-mapping method to determine the line characteristics and the theory of nonuniform transmission lines to evaluate the effect of the variable height of the wire over the substrate.<>
