An integral-equation method is presented for analyzing the capacitance of circularly symmetric vias with thick conductors and conical posts. From the numerical data, simple expressions are derived which account for the effect of conductor thickness and cone angle. Use of the approximate expressions allows one to accurately determine via capacitance while using a simpler thin-conductor straight-post via model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
