Abstract:
1. An analysis method of analyzing discharge in an information processing apparatus having a readable-writable storage device, wherein, when discharge simulation is performed at a node i on a first surface and a node j on a second surface of a simulation model, a calculating unit in the information processing apparatus incorporates a formula indicating relationship between potentials φi′ and φj′ at the node i and the node j after the discharge and a discharge starting voltage between the node i and the node j Vth(ij) as follows: φi′−φj′=α Vth(ij), where α denotes a coefficient indicating a ratio to the discharge starting voltage between the node i and the node j, and a formula indicating relationship between a charge Qi at the node i and a charge Qj at the node j before the discharge, and a charge Qi′ at the node i and a charge Qj′ at the node j after the discharge and an amount of charge movement into a formula given by discretizing a Poisson equation indicating relationship between a potential φ and a charge Q as follows: so as to calculate and store in the storage device the amount of charge movement
