Abstract :
This paper presents a method for modeling substrate coupling. It also derives closed-form expressions for evaluating coupling elements between two device contacts. Using these expressions, we develop a method for extracting substrate coupling elements in a multi-contact structure. A comparison between our technique and another from the literature for a multi-contact scenario demonstrates the efficiency of our technique
