Abstract
Big data technology sustainability is contingent on the availability of
interconnections of large scale, ultra-high-speed, densely integrated big data
heterogeneous server platforms. For highly densified servers to be attainable,
semiconductors technologies upon which these servers are predicated must
further be miniaturized. It is recently not uncommon to implement bandgap
reduction engineering of SiGe HBT in a bid to attain highly densified integrated
circuit for large scale servers. Unfortunately, the parasitic effects become
significant, in particular as these integrated circuits are targeted for high
frequency of operations due to the interconnections links between the chip and
the transceivers. Insertion loss |S21| becomes considerable, and both the signal
level as well as noise figure depreciate substantially as a result. In this work
therefore, we investigate the effect of parasitic effect on the roundtrip latency of
system-on-chip (SoC).
