Dear Michael Khusid,
 
I understand and agree with your opinion.
But, you seem to have forgotten mentioning RESISTANCE.
 
According to my simulated results, the errors except RESISTANCE, that is 
capacitance and inductance, are negligible. By the way, RESISTANCE was not.
Comparing with the model #3, the resistance sum of model #1 and model #2 had a 
difference with about 16%. 
 
From the viewpoint of resistance, I have simplified that model #3 have series 
connected two different resistances. Therefore, I think the resistance sum of 
model #1 and model #2 should be equal to that of model #3.                      
 Is this wrong? 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
model #1. only one bonding wire (very long length with uniform cross-section)   
            model #2. only one lead (very very short length with uniform 
cross-section which is   different from bonding wire)
model #3. the structure composed of model #1 and model #2

Neeraj,
Ansoft Spicelink has two modules. The 2D module, which Jayaprakash 
refers
to, is the one that solves for per-unit parameters calculates loop
inductances.
The 3D modules, which KD refers to, is typically used for 3D problems 
like
wirebonds. The latter module does indeed solve for partial inductances.

KD,

If you have very long trace with uniform cross-section, then indeed
capacitance/inductance/resistance are linear with length. That's how
original telegrapher equations were derived.
If there is a discontinuity between two signals, e.g. a trace and 
wirebond,
than mutual interaction (inductance and capacitance) will produce
non-additive results. That is, the properly done addition also needs to
include mutual interaction.

Neeraj, you are ignoring the effect of mutual capacitance which is 
non-zero
in this case.

Best regards,
Michael
