Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a technique for modeling resistance of a conductive component of a device, where the component comprises multiple conductive materials. If necessary (e.g., for a complex conductive component), the component is divided into multiple conductive regions. For a given conductive region, current flow-through and current flow-in-and-terminate axes are determined and the conductive region is divided into layers. Relative electric currents flowing along the current flow-through axis in each layer and along the current flow-in-and-terminate axis in each layer are evaluated to determine a total resistance value for the conductive region. For a complex conductive component, these processes are repeated for all conductive regions and an overall resistance value is determined based on the corresponding total resistance values and, as calculated for each conductive region, a ratio of maximum electric current flowing in/out of the conductive region to the total electric current flowing out of the complex conductive component.
