Generalized PEEC models for three-dimensional interconnectstructures and integrated passives of arbitrary shapes

摘要

This paper presents the generalization of the Partial ElementEquivalent Circuit method that facilitates its application to themodeling of structures of arbitrary shapes. This is achieved through thedevelopment of partial element equivalent circuit models usingtriangular cells and prisms as the fundamental building blocks formodeling conductor surfaces and conductor/dielectric volumes. The newPartial Element Equivalent Circuit models are demonstrated through theirapplication to the quantification of electromagnetic coupling incrossing wires
