On the study of anomalous skin effect for GSI interconnections

The change in the resistivity of a thin wire caused by anomalous skin effect (combined surface scattering and skin effect) is studied. The delay of a digital transmission line due to this effect is modeled. The results show that for a wire in the RC region surface scattering has the major effect on the delay whereas for a wire between the RC and RLC regions both surface scattering and skin effect should be considered.
