ABSTRACT
Abstract In this chapter, we describe high-accuracy parasitic extraction by both fast integral equation methods and random-walk-based methods. For any extraction application, the appropriate simplication of Maxwell’s equations must be chosen and then solved to generate an appropriate model suitable for circuit simulation. We will briey describe these various domains of electromagnetics and then discuss integral equation approaches as they are used for capacitance, inductance, and full-wave analysis. We conclude the chapter with a discussion of random-walk methods as used for capacitance extraction.
