Abstract

This paper presents the motivation and a case study for a new clock distribution technique: route the global clock on package. This technique can be used in single chips and multichip modules based on area I/Os of the flip chip technology. Due to 2-4 order lower interconnect resistance on package layers, the clock skew and path delay of the clock network are significantly reduced.
