contents This work introduces an electromagnetic metastructure based interconnect design that could address the critical need for electrical bandwidth and heat dissipation in high-speed, chiplet integration. We leverage silicon as the substrate for its superior thermal properties, and to counteract its high dielectric constant that typically causes high mutual capacitance among interconnects, we've engineered a periodically corrugated, compact metallic structure enabling signal propagation via strongly confined spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs). By placing this engineered metal on a $50$ $μ$m oxide layer atop Si substrate, we achieved a low insertion loss of $0.015$ dB/cm and a $10$ dB reduction in crosstalk noise within $5$ GHz, resulting in a bandwidth $2.5\times$ as high as that of a standard microstriplines of the same footprint. Furthermore, a $5$ ns input pulse showed minimal distortion and a $0.13$ ns/cm propagation delay in our proposed interconnect. Critically, the thin oxide layer minimally impacted the heat dissipation of Si substrate, demonstrating a fourfold reduction in temperature compared to an FR4 substrate. These full-wave simulation-supported findings present a viable pathway for high-density, thermally efficient interconnects in advanced packaging.
