We revisit a basic element of modern signal integrity analysis, the modeling of worst-case coupling capacitance effects within a switch factor (SF) based methodology. We show that...
Abstract— This paper presents an allocation method of decoupling capacitance that explicitly considers timing. We have found and focused that decap does not necessarily improve a...
This paper presents an efficient hierarchical 3D capacitance extraction algorithm -- ICCAP. Most previous capacitance extraction algorithms introduce intermediate variables to fac...
Application of the hierarchical Schur algorithm to the boundary element method for 3D capacitance extraction shifts the speed bottleneck from inversion of the influence matrix to...
— Integrated circuits have evolved to a stage where interconnections significantly limit their performance and functional complexity. We introduce a set of tools to perform high...
