Abstract :
A full-wave electromagnetic field simulation based on massive parallelization is proposed as a tool for the signal integrity analysis of complex IC packages. The simulations are based on a specialized domain partitioning method which allows for highly balanced parallel computations. As a real-world example the analysis of a large computer chip spreader is performed Numerical results including signal wave forms and delay times are given.
