Electro-thermal simulation with the SISSI package

In this paper a brief overview of the electro-thermal simulation based on t he method of simultaneous iteration is given, through the example of the SI SSI (Simulator for Integrated Structures by Simultaneous Iteration) package . The modular approach used for the layout-based electro-thermal netlist ge neration is described. This approach allows an easy implementation of packa ge model libraries. The capabilities of SISSI are introduced by simulation examples where in most cases the results are compared to measurement result s.
