This paper describes a methodology to extract effective electrical properties for periodic composite medium. The extraction algorithm is based on a periodic finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The results are compared with conventional mixing theories and 3D Fourier series expansion methods. Two results show satisfactory agreement. With the extracted effective permittivity and conductivity, one can readily use these parameters to study electrical properties of composite materials with arbitrary micro-geometry and the shielding effects of using composite materials.

A novel approach of equivalent circuit model extraction is developed for modeling of integrated package and PCB power distribution networks (PDN). The integrated PDNs are formulated from a full-wave finite-difference algorithm, and the resulting matrix equations are converted to equivalent circuits. The equivalent circuits, as well as the decoupling capacitors and the attached circuit components, can be analyzed with a SPICE-like solver in both the time and frequency domains. The modeling of dielectric loss is also addressed. The method is used to model three PDN problems including a simple power bus, a BGA package mounting on a PCB, and a …

In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) Crank-Nicholason (CN) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is proposed for VLSI interconnect/substrate characterization. Through rigorous truncation and dispersion error analyses, a guideline on using this technique is presented. Several iterative solvers are investigated to accelerate the solution of the CN-FDTD scheme. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
