Abstract:
It is important to model substrate couplings for SoC/mixed-signal circuit designs. After introducing the continuation equation of full current in lossy substrates, we present a new direct boundary element method (DBEM), which can handle the substrates with arbitrary doping profiles. Three techniques can speed up the DBEM remarkably, which include reusing coefficient matrices for multiple-frequency calculation, condensing the linear system, and sparsifying coefficient matrix. Numerical experiments illustrate that DBEM has high accuracy and high efficiency, and is versatile for arbitrary doping profiles.
