I have onserved a strange phenomenon in Ansoft 2D solver. The case is: Two coupled transmission lines, on a silicon die, are placed on the same metal layer. There are dieletric material between them and above them. Ansoft 2D will give out the Capacitance between them.(C12) If I move one of the two lines downward for about 1 micron, the value of C12 will increase. The result doesn't make sense to me. Why it will increase? What I wondered is that since they are seperated farther, why the capacitance increased? If I move it upward instead of downward, the C12 will decrease. Can any expert give your explanation? --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
