3D Field Solvers can be Fast - Daniel Payne

3D Field Solvers can be Fast
by Daniel Payne in Extraction tools

In SoC designs today parasitic extraction tools produce RC and sometimes L or S-parameter values for full-chip designs using either pattern-matching or equation-based techniques. It gets the job done for most digital designs however when you really need accuracy in your parasitics then you must consider something more accurate, namely a 3D field solver.
