This paper proposes a novel electrical characterization approach for a high-performance package system using an improved Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC). As the effect of interconnects becomes a pivotal factor for the performance of high-speed electronic systems, there is a great demand for an accurate equivalent model for interconnects. In particular, an equivalent model of interconnects is established in this paper for the Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package using the improved PEEC method. Based on the equivalent model, electrical characteristics are analyzed; furthermore, these are verified through the measurement results of a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).

다층 고속 디지털 보드에 대한 빠르고 정확한 전압 버스 설계 방법은 정확하고 정밀한 고속 보드에 전원 공급망 설계 방법을 위해 고안되었다. FAPUD는 PBEC(Path Based Equivalent Circuit)모델과 망 합성 방법의 두 중요 알고리즘을 기반으로 구성된다. PBEC 모델 기반의 회로 레벨의 2차원 전원 분배 망의 전기적 값으로부터 lumped 1차원 회로 모델로 간단한 산술 표현들을 활용한다 제안된 PBEC 기반인 회로 단계 설계는 제안한 지역 접근법을 이용해 수행된다. 이 회로 단계 설계는 온칩 디커플링 커패시터의 크기, 오프칩 디커플링 커패시터의 위치와 크기, 패키지 전압 버스의 유효한 인덕턴스를 직접 결정하고 계산한다. 설계 출력에 따라 모든 디커플링 커패시터가 포한된 lumped 회로 모델과 전압 버스의 레이아웃은 FAPUD 방법을 이용한 후 얻을 수 있다. 미세조정 과정에서, I/O Switching에 의해 덧붙여진 Simultaneous Switching Noise(SSN)를 고려한 보드 재 최적화가 수행될 수 있다 이는 전원 공급 잡음에 I/O 동작 효과가 lumped 회로 모델을 가지고 전 동작 주파수 범위에 대해 추산될 수 있기 때문이다. 게다가 만약 설계에 조정이 필요하거나 교체해야 한다면, FAPUD 방법은 다른 전면 설계변경 없이 디커플링 커패시터들을 대체하여 설계를 수정하는 것이 가능하다. 마지막으로 FAPUD 방법은 전형적인 PEEC 기본설계 방법과 비교해 정확하고 FAPUD 방법의 설계 시간은 전형적인 PEEC 기본 설계 방법의 시간보다 10배가 빠르다.

The circuit modeling of interdigitated capacitors fabricated by high-k low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) sheets was investigated. The s-parameters of each test structure were measured from 50 MHz to 10 GHz, and the modeling was performed using these measured sparameters up to the first resonant frequency. Each test structure was divided into appropriate building blocks. The equivalent circuit of each building block was composed based on the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method. Modeling was executed to optimize the parameters in the equivalent circuit of each building block. The validity of the extracted parameters was verified by the predictive modeling for the test structures with different geometry. After that, Monte Carlo analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed based on the extracted parameters. The modeling methodology can allow a device designer to improve the yield and to save time and cost for the design and manufacturing of devices.

The characterization of interdigitated capacitors was investigated. The test structures are manufactured by low temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) process and their s-parameters were measured. The optimized equivalent circuit models for test structures were obtained using the partial element equivalent circuit(PEEC) method. Predictive modeling was performed on different test structures using optimized parameters to verify the circuit models. From this result, the manufacturability on the process can be improved through the predictive modeling for the characteristics of interdigitated capacitors.

전원 전압이 낮아지고, 칩의 동작 속도가 빨라짐에 따라 온-칩 인덕턴스를 포함한 power distribution network (PDN) 분석이 중요해 질 것으로 예측된다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 온-칩 전력 격자 구조에 적용시킬 수 있는 효과적인 인덕턴스 추출방법에 대해 제안한다. Chip layout에 적용할 수 있는 loop 인덕턴스 모델을 제시하고, 그 모델을 사용하여 post layout RC extraction netlist로 부터 인덕턴스를 포함한 netlist를 추출할 수 있는 tool을 개발하였다. 제안된 loop 인덕턴스 모델과 개발된 tool의 정확성은 회로 simulation을 통해 PEEC 모델과 비교하여 검증하였다. 인덕턴스 추출 방법을 실제 chip layout에 적용시켜 on-chip inductance를 포함한 PDN의 voltage fluctuation을 예측하였다. 패키지와 PCB 모델을 포함한 co-simulation 모델을 구성하여 on-chip inductance의 영향을 분석하였다.

The characteristic prediction and analysis of 3-dimensional (3-D) solenoid-type embedded inductors is investigated. The four different structures of 3-D inductor are fabricated by using low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) process. The circuit model parameters of the each building block are optimized and extracted using the partial element equivalent circuit method and HSPICE circuit simulator. Based on the model parameters, predictive modeling is applied for the structures composed of the combination of the modeled building blocks. And the characteristics of test structures, such as self-resonant frequency, inductance and Q-factor, are analyzed. This approach can provide the characteristic conception of 3-D solenoid embedded inductors for structural variations.
