Popis: High-speed chip-to-chip interconnect utilizing flex-circuit technology is investigated for extending the lifetime of copper-based system-level channels. Proper construction of the flex ribbon is shown to improve the raw bandwidth over FR-4 boards by about three times. Active testing results from a 130-nm CMOS test vehicle show the potential of two times higher data rates. The next generation test vehicle with 90-nm CMOS, described briefly, gives improved voltage and timing margins at 20 Gb/s. High-speed connector solutions, especially results from a "split socket" assembly test vehicle, are discussed in detail.
