The level of coupling noise or cross talk is an important factor in the design of reliable VLSI packages. Coupling noise can be reduced by modifying the underlying conductor geometry. An expert system is developed and integrated into the packaging design and simulation environment UAPDSE. The system is provided with rules to reduce the coupling noise, and create models that satisfy the constraints set by the package designer. The parameter calculator UAMOM and the circuit simulator UANTL are used to evaluate the electrical performance of the model under study. The expert system is an interactive and user-friendly software that provides efficient method for performing the coupling noise reduction in interconnect systems.Type
