Neeraj, Two excellent articles that I can recommend. "A Circuit Topology for Microwave Modeling of Plastic Surface Mount Packages" R. W. Jackson MTT Trans July 1996 "Microwave Circuit Modeling of High Lead-Count Plastic Packages" R. W. Jackson MTT Trans Oct 1997 These show you how to build a very flexible circuit model of the package, then you can add your chip model to it. He demonstrates how the relationship between signal pin and ground pin locations can have a big impact on results.
