Efficient Capacitance Calculations for Three-Dimensional Multiconductor Systems

Abstract

The design and packaging of integrated circuits requires the calculation of capacitances for three-dimensional conductors located on parallel planes. An integral-equation (IE) computer-solution technique is presented, which provides accurate results. The solution technique minimizes computer storage requirements while maintaining calculating efficiency computation times.
