Hi,

I am trying to determine an optimum decoupling strategy. I have found 
lots of manufacturers data conerning capacitor models, from Murata and 
others. But I keep thinking that these models can't possibly take into 
consideration the layout footprint, because of process, material and 
other variations, like the layer height above copper.

So, when attempting to model a capacitor in spice or other, what is a 
good strategy in trying to take into consideration the footprint itself?

Yes, I do realize that in some cases, a 3D model can be created, but 
that can be very time consuming and I am really only talking about a 
first order spice approximation.


Thank you to all who respond.

Tom
