Measured Equation of Invariance(MEI) is a new concej't in computational electromagnetics. It has been demonstrated that the M E I technique can be used t o terminate the meshes very close to the object boundary and still strictly preserves the sparsity of the F D equations. Therefore, the final system matrzx encountered by M E I is a sparse matrix with site similar t o that of integral equation methods. Howe v w , complicated Green's function and disagreeable Sommwfeld integrals make the traditional M E I very dificult, if not impossible, t o be applied t o analyze multilayer and multiconductor interconnects. In this paper, we propose the Geometry Independent MEI(GIMEI) which substantially improved the original M E I method. W e use G I M E Ifov capacitance extraction of general three-dimension VLSI inkerconnect. Numerical results are in good agreement with published data and those obtained by using F A S T C A P [l], while G I M E I is generally an order of magnitude faster than FfLSTCAP and uses significant less memory than F A S T -CAP.
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.
