Measurements of the plane impedance were made on a 8/spl times/8 via array as a function of via pair location. The results from full-wave field solution are compared to measurement data and excellent correlation is obtained. The results show that the impedance and effective inductance is a strong function of location within the array. The lowest impedance and inductance is measured on the array perimeter. A 4 X increase in the impedance and inductance occurs at the array center. By parameterizing the antipad diameter in simulation it is found that the impedance increases sharply when the antipads overlap.","PeriodicalId":143349,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging - 2004","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116678950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low Q bypass capacitors, termed bypass resistors, can be created either by reducing the inductance of the part, and/or by raising the equivalent series resistance (ESR). In multi-layer capacitors, ESR can be raised by using resistive plates, and/or resistive terminations, or by adding resistance externally with low inductance. Low-resistance capacitor plates can be patterned outside the high-frequency current loop. In thin-film capacitors, ESR can also be raised by reducing the thickness of capacitor plates.","PeriodicalId":143349,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging - 2004","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132765871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, the degree of discipline coupling is a function of the type and level of optimization that one is \"willing\" to pursue, or ignore.

The solution of the full-wave electromagnetic part is transformed to the circuit domain and general well-known circuit solver techniques are applied. However owing to the mutual couplings in the PEEC formulation, the MNA matrix is not sparse as in the case of general lumped circuits. This gives rise to a time and memory bottleneck. A Gauss-Seidel relaxation (GSR) solver is presented as an appropriate alternative to SPICE sparse LU solvers, for the PEEC class of problems in the frequency domain. Circuit based block partitioning schemes similar to the ones used in waveform relaxation methods with known convergence properties are used to insure fast convergence. Furthermore, circuit coupling thinning schemes based on QR compression techniques are used to accelerate the inter block updates and also intra block solutions.","PeriodicalId":143349,"journal":{"name":"Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging - 2004","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126417432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
