The method is based on the discretization of these structures using multiple layers of prism finite elements. In order to eliminate coupling between different layers in the mass matrix, a combined exact/approximate numerical integration technique is applied to the finite element matrices. This makes the final mass matrix fully block-diagonal and greatly reduces the inversion/factorization cost and time. The formulation is readily extended to lossy materials without any additional adverse effect on the stability condition.","PeriodicalId":241629,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th Conference on Electrical Performance Of Electronic Packaging And Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122446404","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}

It was successfully used to build broadband models for dielectrics and conductor roughness up to 30 GHz. Though, it is not widely used and multiple new material characterisation techniques were recently proposed. Is SPP useful for 30 Gbps interconnect design and manufacturing? This paper analyses advantages and drawbacks of the original SPP technique and suggests some simplifications and improvements. It is shown that the number of characterisation steps can be substantially reduced without loss of accuracy. To reduce the sensitivity to the connector and launch reflections and improve accuracy, it is also suggested to use S-parameters instead of TDT pulse responses.","PeriodicalId":241629,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th Conference on Electrical Performance Of Electronic Packaging And Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130108730","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}
