Interconnect Analysis: From 3-D Structures to Circuit Models

In this survey paper we describethe combination of: discretized integral formulations, sparsication techniques, and krylov-subspace based model-order reduction that has led to robust tools for automatic generation of macromodels that represent the distributed RLC e ects in 3D interconnect. A few computationalresults are presented, mostly to point out the problems yet to be addressed.
