Abstract

This paper introduces a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach to modeling portions of ball grid array (BGA) package interconnect circuits. A full wave circuit model including vias, trace segments, and ground vias was generated, using a computer gridding tool, and fed into the FDTD (Taflove and Hagness, 2005) program. The simulated results were correlated with TDR measurements
