A Technique for IR-Drop Analysis of the Multilayered Power/Ground Networks
This paper presents a method for DC analysis of IR-drop in power/ground (P/G) networks.The proposed method explores three-dimensional structure of multi-layer P/G grids.By inputting the coordinates of each metal layer and the process rules of vias
the proposed method analyzes the impact of different multi-layers P/G grids on IR-drop.Experimental results demonstrate that the method has high consistency with SPICE simulation results.The relative error is less than 0.4% and the time complexity has the linear relation to the number of vias.Moreover
the topology of inter-layers has an important relation to the value and distributions of IR-drop.
