Abstract :
This paper discusses the field penetration through planes in package power distribution networks. A method is presented to efficiently compute the penetration of magnetic fields through an `N´ layer structure by solving Maxwell´s equations. Several test cases have been simulated to compute the frequency and time domain response and their effect on the functioning of giga-processors. General rules have been proposed to suppress this phenomenon
