Inductance extraction for physics-based modeling of power net area fills with complex shapes and voids using the plane-pair PEEC method

Identifying the dominant inductance in power distribution network design for multi-layer printed circuit boards that use power net area fills is essential. The plane-Pair partial element equivalent circuit method is used herein to extract a lumped inductance suitable for a physics-based circuit model for power net area fills. The method is being applied for evaluating inductance for irregular geometry with cutouts and holes.
