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...
In order to optimize interconnect to avoid signal integrity problems, very fast and accurate 3-D capacitance extraction is essential. Fast algorithms, such as the multipole or prec...
For submicron integrated circuits, 3D numerical techniques are required to accurately compute the values of the interconnect capacitances. In this paper, we describe an hierarchic...
