The paper presents the detailed analysis of the intercon- nect capacitance, crosstalk time and peak crosstalk voltage. The de- pendency of the couple capacitance and fringe capacitance on the in- terconnect layer dimensions affects significantly to the interconnect ca- pacitance. The peak crosstalk time obtained to be 13 femtoseconds for 9.6 femtoseconds of propagation delay, while the maximum crosstalk voltage obtained to be 178 mV.
