Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An accurate three-dimensional(3D)LCR simulator which can handle any arbitrary interconnect structure has been developed.Failure of Delaunay tetrahedral partitioning due to numerical errors is avoided by using the element topological information.To represent the 3D shape correctly,tetrahedral elements which intersect the solid interface and whose circumsphere centers are out of their own material regions are removed.Exact Delaunay tetrahedral discretization is obtained in 3D shape with the CPU cost proportional to O(n^1.5>)where n is the node number.The calculated capacitance is accurate to less than 2 percent when n is 20000 in a test structure for DRAM cell, bit lines,and the total CPU time is about 18 min on a RISC R4000(50 MHz)based EWS4800/350.
