چکیده

A new resistance simulator for extraction of the parasitic parameters from VLSI layout is presented. The calculation of resistor network is based on the boundary element method (BEM). The computational results indicate that the BEM has an advantage over the finite difference method (FDM) and the finite element method (FEM). Since only discretized equations on the boundary of solved domain need to be solved, the grid number on the boundary is much smaller and mesh generation is greatly simplified. Hence the execution CPU time is reduced drastically. Besides, the BEM is powerful in dealing with complicated boundary geometry in the resistance computation. In order to treat the corners on the boundary, the concept of multiple normal derivatives at a corner is proposed. The concept is used in both continuous and partially discontinuous linear elements to increase the accuracy and reduce the number of unknowns. It is important that this concept can he generalized to higher order elements and to more complicated corners. It is also shown that a nonuniform mesh scheme is significant for the problems with some stronger singularities.

Application of Boundera Element Method (Bem) to Two-Dimensional Poisson's Eqation

BEM can be used to solve Poisson's equation if the right hand side of the equation  is constant because it can easily be transformed to an equivalent Laplace equation. However, if the right hand side is not constant, then such a treatment is impossible and part of the equation can not be transformed over the boundary, hence, the whole domain has to be discretized. Although this takes away impor...

Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Formulation for Wave Propagation in Unbounded Layered Media

Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...

BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD APPLIED TO THE LIFTING BODIES NEAR THE FREE SURFACE

In this study, the boundary element method is formulated to evaluate hydrodynamic characteristics of bodies including free surface effect. The method is based on two equations, the perturbation potential boundary integral and the pressure Kutta condition, which are solved simultaneously. The method uses isoparametric elements for both quantity and geometric on the boundary. The method is first ...
