Characterizing substrate coupling in deep-submicron designs

The accurate modeling of noise-coupling effects caused by crosstalk through the substrate is an increasingly important concern for design and verification of analog, digital, and mixed systems. With the technique described here, designers can efficiently extract accurate substrate-coupling parameters from deep-submicron designs.
