A method of modeling an integrated circuit includes: specifying a layout for the integrated circuit, wherein the layout includes a plurality of devices arranged in a plurality of layers and a plurality of connections between the layers; specifying locations for a source point and an observation point for the integrated circuit; determining a plurality of static images for the source point and the observation point; determining a plurality of discrete complex images for the source point and the observation point; determining a Green's-function value for the source point and the observation point by combining the static images and the discrete complex images; and saving at least some values based on the Green's-function value.

Evaluating Green's functions for modeling multilayer integrated circuits

A system and method for modeling an IC (integrated circuit) employs a mesh model and a grid model for separating impedance effects between nearby and far-away pairs of mesh elements. Models for relating currents and voltages can be incrementally adapted from other designs or design elements in applications including mixed-signal, analog and RF (radio frequency) circuits.
