Abstract:
A method for use in computer aided simulation apparatus to model metalization structures in electrical circuits comprising the steps of:generating charge and/or current distributions from a source of current distribution on a metalization structure;determining interactions between metalization structures based on underlying characteristics of said charge and/or current distributions that generated said interactions;obtaining the charge and/or current distributions that generated said interactions;decomposing said interactions into a number of long-range interactions and a number of short-range interactions; andto generating, in accordance with prescribed criteria based on said obtained charge and/or current distributions and their prescribed relationships with said number of long-range interactions and said number of short-range interactions, electrical characteristics including at least impedance and admittance values of an overall physical metalization structure, for example, an inductor, interconnect or the like, to be fabricated.
