Abstract :
A node-based algebraic multi-grid finite element Laplace solver is demonstrated for the extraction of the multi-terminal DC resistance of the power distribution network at the board and package level. The solver can handle boards of arbitrary complexity, comprehending without numerical difficulties fine features associated with dense clusters of via holes and related voids in the metallization.
