A Fast Method for 3-D VLSI Interconnect Capacitance Extraction: Quasi-Multiple Medium Method
A new Quasi-Multiple Medium (QMM) method is presented to accelerate computation of the direct boundary element method
and is applied to extraction of the 3-D interconnect capacitance with multiple dielectrics.Processing single dielectric as a combination of many quasi-multiple mediums
the QMM method produces much fewer non-zero entries in the coefficient matrix.As a result
the QMM method can greatly reduce the CPU time and save memory space used in the capacitance extraction.The QMM computation for several capacitors from actual layout is compared with that of non-QMM and Raphael
a famous commercial tool for parasitic capacitance extraction.The results of numerical experiments verify the analysis.
