Modeling Anisotropic Substrates

Modeling Anisotropic SubstratesLearn to model permittivity dependent on the direction of fields

Silicon Substrate Current VisualizationThis is a result of a Sonnet Software EM analysis of the current flowing in the surface of the silicon substrate underneath a spiral inductor. This is a current distribution animation as a function of time with an excitation of a 10 GHz cosine wave. The arrows represent the direction of current flow.
