Abstract

We describe a new method for accurate large-scale capacitance calculations. The algorithm uses an integral equation formulation, but with a new representation for charge distributions that decouples charge variation from conductor geometry. This separation significantly reduces the problem size compared to a traditional discretization, resulting in a large speed increase. The full capacitance matrix of typical interconnect problems with thousands of nets can be computed in a few hours.
