Capacitance Calculation
Compute capacitance, fields, and voltage margins for any 3D capacitor geometry.
This note uses the EMWorks Electrostatic module to compute the 6×6 capacitance matrix of a six-conductor 3D interconnect embedded in seven dielectric layers and validate it against published DDM results.
This application note explains how capacitors store charge and the role of the dielectric, then studies a parallel plate capacitor with three dielectric layers in EMWorks. The software computes capacitance and electric field under a 12 V excitation, with results matching theoretical values and highlighting field levels relevant to dielectric breakdown.
