Resistance extraction using superconvergence accelerated boundary element method

Accurate and efficient extraction of parasitic resistance is becoming more important to achieve high-speed high-performance digital systems. In this paper, we propose a superconvergence accelerated boundary element method (SA-BEM) to calculate parasitic resistances. Experimental results show that the SA-BEM can achieve up to two orders of magnitude speed improvement over the traditional BEM and/or Method of Moment (MoM) approach. In addition, the whole resistance matrix can be obtained at one time.
