Abstract

The nouveau S-EHRFEM approach to substrate extraction is based on a mathematical technique which strongly reduces the FEM-discretized Laplace equation in three dimensions. It reduces the nets by almost two orders of magnitude and the resistors by roughly one order of magnitude at an error bound < 10%. This translates into over an order of magnitude speedup of a transient circuit simulation using GMRES. The resulting model is reciprocal, reference-independent, charge-conserving and, under some weak assumptions, passive. This guarantees simulation stability and accuracy.
