A Fast 3-D Modeling Approach to Parasitics Extraction of Bonding Wires for RF Circuits

(cooperated with Ericsson)



A fast 3-D modeling method is developed which captures the geometry of bonding wires from SEM photos and the electrical parameters are extracted based on the geometry. Test structures have been fabricated and measured. Simulation results are in excellent agreement with the measured data.

A paper was presented at 1998 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM'98, Dec. 1998). The complete work was published in IEEE Transactions on Advanced Packaging, Aug., 2000.
