A novel approach for generating boundary condition independent compact dynamic thermal networks of packages

A novel approach is proposed for generating compact dynamic thermal models of packages, independent on boundary conditions. This approach is based on the novel definition of Robin's boundary condition independent dynamic thermal network and on the application of a novel multivariate moment matching method. The resulting compact thermal models are more accurate than compact models obtained by means of previous methods.
