Abstract :
We propose the modelling of elements of small dimensions (at least one dimension small by respect to the wavelength) in a planar circuit by a quasistatic approach, and the rest of the circuit by a rigorous integral method including sources. This mixed method is applied to the study of a MIM (Metal-Insulator-Metal) capacitor. Numerical results are in good agreement with experimental data.<>
