Comparison among different via models based on Feature Selective Validation technique

A new approach is proposed in this paper to validate different uncertain approaches without knowing a standard reference by applying the feature selective validation (FSV) technique. New reference is established by the weighted average of the various approaches. Four via modeling methods including physics-based circuit model, equivalent transmission line model, multiple scattering model, and full wave model are compared and validated by the approach proposed in this paper to illustrate the effectiveness of different via modeling techniques.
