Abstract

This paper is devoted to the calculation of the capacitance of monolithic microwave integrated-circuit (MMIC) passive components. The method of moments (MoM) is used to solve the integral equation for the electrostatic problem with the help of the spatial-domain multilayered media Green's function that can be obtained using the discrete complex image method (DCIM). As an application, the capacitance of several MMIC passive components, including capacitors and interconnects, is calculated. The numerical experiments show the efficiency and accuracy of the present method. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 32: 216–219, 2002.
