In this paper, a full-wave layered-interconnect simulator (UA-FWLIS), which is capable of simulating EM effects in packaging-interconnect problems, is introduced. Standard integral-equation-based Method of Moment (MoM) techniques are employed in UA-FWLIS. However, instead of using standard time-consuming numerical integration techniques, we have analytically evaluated the MoM reaction elements, thereby greatly improving the computational efficiency of the simulator. This paper illustrates the application of the simulator by employing it in the studies of coupling in a stripline structure and -parameters for an interconnect.

This paper proposes a procedure for extracting package models from multi-port S-parameters. By utilizing all the elements in an nxn S-parameter matrix, the proposed deterministic procedure provides a better starting point for Sparameter optimization when compared with underdetermined extraction procedures based on multiple 2-port S-matrices using EIMJEDEC Standard 123. An efficient procedure is discussed for generating a ladder model consisting of an arbitrary number of identical sections.
