Abstract

Systems and methods are presented for decreasing the effect of Miller capacitance on adjacent interconnects in an integrated circuit. The systems and methods include interweaving interconnects with signals traveling in one direction with interconnects with signals traveling in the opposite direction. The systems include a system for fabricating integrated circuits with interweaved interconnects and an integrated circuit with interweaved interconnects.
