In this study, we have developed a two dimensional skin effect simulator by using the split fiber model, that can treat the skin effect as inductive phenomenon of metal wires. Using this simulator, we calculate propagation delay as a function of wiring aspect ratio by considering the skin effect. We estimate propagation delay of both step and slope input and we point out the necessity of considering skin effect in over GHz operation in digital VLSI design.
