Abstract
A comparison is made between various approximations of the line-to-ground capacitance problem in a VLSI environment. It is shown that with up-to-date dimensions, the simple parallel-plate model is no longer adequate. However, easy-to-use and fast-to-compute formulas exist that result in accurate and reliable capacitance values.<>Keywords
