Extraction of Passive Device Model Parameters Using Genetic Algorithms

Statistical Modeling of 3‐D Parallel‐Plate Embedded Capacitors Using Monte Carlo Simulation

“…A novel method of full 3-D embedded gridded parallel plate capacitor modeling and simulation has been utilized. This method is based on the generation of passive circuit element models [8]. This approach first determines a set of fundamental circuit building blocks for the capacitors, and then test structures are designed, fabricated, and their s-parameters are measured up to a desired frequency.…”

“…Fathy et al presented modeling and design guidelines for embedded passives in LTCC on metal technology [7]. Yun et al presented accurate device model parameter optimization for embedded passives using genetic algorithms [8].…”

“…A set of integrated capacitor structures was fabricated, and their scattering parameters were measured for a range of frequencies from 50 MHz to 5GHz. Using optimized equivalent circuits obtained from HSPICE and the building block based modeling method [8], the mean and standard deviation was calculated for each component of each device model. Monte Carlo Analysis for the capacitor structures was then performed using HSPICE.…”
