Modeling and Hybrid Simulation of on-Chip Power Delivery Network Using an Unconditionally Stable Electromagnetic Field Solver

The second contribution concerns the demonstration of scalability of the CN-based transient simulator by the use of a metallization layer-centric domain decomposition of the power grid. The domain decomposition approach used relies on the iterative exchange of field information between adjacent subdomains over an overlap region. For the case of on-chip power grid structures, it is shown that at most two iterations are needed for convergence. Hence, the scheme is computationally very efficient for the handling of large portions of the on-chip power grid.
