Abstract :
The primary implications of adaptive finite element analysis (FEA) on simulating the electromagnetic performance of microelectronic system interconnection (MSI) structures are investigated. The potential advantages and related costs of using advanced strategy adaptive FEA in MSI electromagnetic modeling, for computing sufficiently accurate solutions more efficiently than non-adaptive methods, are examined. Practical applications are illustrated for the principal adaptive FEA refinement models
