Abstract

A new simulation method for analyzing propagation characteristics of high frequency waves on single or coupled lossy interconnections is presented, based on the universal CAD SPICE software. The concept used is the direct analysis of lossy propagating lines as an equivalent circuit which can be easily modeled and simulated by SPICE software. The results obtained in both frequency and time domains agree well with other published methods. The applications to advanced packaging technology, especially for fast IC logic gates and superconductor materials, are promising and offer considerable potential
