    Abstract: An interconnect structure (200) includes a signal wire (210) and an' active shield line (220) adjacent to, but removed from, signal wire (210). Interconnect structure (200) also includes another active shield line (230) adjacent to, but removed from, signal wire (210). A signal driver (205) is connected to signal wire (210). Signal driver (205) drives a pulse on signal wire (210). A shield driver (225) is connected to active shield line (220). Shield driver (220) asserts a signal on active shield line (220) substantially simultaneous with the pulse. Another shield driver (235) is connected to another active shield line (230). Another shield driver (235) asserts a signal on another active shield line (230) substantially simultaneous with the pulse. The effect of the simultaneous signals on signal wire (210) and active shield lines (220, 230) is to effectively cancel the lateral capacitances between these lines.
