We introduce a three-dimensional simulation tool for capacitive and thermal
investigations of interconnect structures.
Basic geometric operations are applied on the two-dimensional layout data
to obtain the three-dimensional simulation structure.
For the numerical investigations the finite element method is used.
By means of several examples we point out the advantages, key features and
limitations of our layout-based simulation approach.
