In this paper, we first propose models of the power distribution network (PDN) of perforated power and ground (P/G) planes including substrate effects for a silicon interposer. Since it is almost impossible to simulate high-density perforated PDN structure, we suggest modeling methodology for perforated planes to reduce simulation time significantly with high accuracy.
To obtain PDN impedance of silicon interposer faster, we convert the perforated planes to solid planes with a dielectric mixture. Previously, the basic air-filled structure of equivalent solid planes is designed from the EM simulation. The resistance (R) and inductance (L) of solid planes are similarly obtained by comparing those of perforated planes. Then, the capacitance (C) and conductance (G) of perforated planes are precisely calcaled based on the conformal mapping method. From the calculated C and G, the physical dimension and material properties of the dielectric mixture of solid planes are determined respectively.
Because the PDN of a silicon interposer consists of a periodic structure, we design and analyze unit cell of PDN thoroughly. From the unit cell analysis, the electrical characteristic of an entire PDN can be successfully estimated. The PDN impedance of proposed solid and perforated planes and the simulation time to obtain each PDN impedance are compared evaluated respectively. The proposed methodology is validated by full 3-D electromagnetic (EM) simulation in the frequency range from 0.01 to 20 GHz. |
