Very fast and accurate 3-D capacitance extraction is essential for interconnect optimization in VLSI ultra-deep sub-micron designs (UDSM). Parallel processing provides an approach to reducing the simulation turn-around time. This paper examines the parallelization of the well-known fast multipole-ba

Abstract
For the boundary element method used in an impedance extractor FastImp, a scheme to handle the boundary integrals is proposed to accelerate the computation for multiple frequencies. Several techniques are combined in the scheme. The near‐field integrals are calculated with a series expansion technique and an approximate formula, whereas the precorrected FFT algorithm is employed for the far‐field integrals. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method is several times faster than FastImp for multi‐frequency extraction, while preserving high accuracy. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
