The quick answer will be no, ADS does not have true 3D modeling capability to handle a sphere like bump. On the other hand, with dimension that small, don't you think a free tool like FastHenry/Cap is sufficient ? Unless we are talking about some 100GHz super duper thingie which I should shut up because I've never done any. -----Original Message----- From: Bi Han [mailto:mike_bihan@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 2:32 AM To: Andrew.Burnside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Chris Cheng; List` Si Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] Re: ADS usage in SI analysis Andrew: I am curious about its application on thick dielectric layer. For example, in BGA package, the bump is about 90um high and the filling material is as thick as 90um. Does ADS generate accurate results for this kind of setup? thanks, Han ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
