VLSI Resistance Extraction: A Multi-Algorithmic Approach
This page is a link to my award winning University of Pittsburgh School of Engineering 1989 Master's Thesis.
I was awarded Outstanding Thesis for the School of Engineering (Electrical, Chemical, Industrial, Mechanical, etc.) that year. I was also Class Marshal for the School of Engineering for 1989.
I scanned the book with an HP scanner. The resulting bit map images were of the order of 10Mb per page. By removing white edges and changing the format to jpg, I was able to reduce most of the images to about 200Kb.
The original book is available in the Pitt engineering library.
The most interesting sections are the Complex Variable Method (p25) and Gaussian Quadrature (p72)
The Complex Variable Method reduces the cpu usage by integerating around the boundry instead of meshing the interior. The Gaussian Quadrature reduces cpu usage by changing a trapezoidal integration into a series of multiplications.
