Abstract :
The Barnes-Hut algorithm has been shown to be an effective acceleration scheme for rapid capacitance extraction in multi-layered substrates. In previous publications the algorithm was only applied to the interconnects embedded in the lossless dielectric layers. This paper discusses the Barnes-Hut´s hierarchical center-of-charge approximation generalization for handle the capacitance extraction problem in lossy layered substrates.
