摘要
Needs for electro-thermal simulation of VLSI circuits, as opposed to both the system and device levels, are analyzed. A system capable of modeling these effects in a realistic and sufficiently accurate way that uses a reasonable amount of CPU resources is presented, An innovative solver is also proposed. The system is used to study the importance of some three-dimensional (3-D) effects as well as metallic connections. A complete example mas treated to have an insight on the type of results to be expected and the corresponding costs in terms of CPU.
