Abstract
Calculating the Green's functions in lossy layered media using the discrete complex image method (DCIM) is challenging, due to the difficulties in extracting the surface-wave poles that are very close to a branch cut. An efficient algorithm based on the contour method is proposed in this communication to locate these poles and calculate the residues. The proposed method is robust for both the lossless and lossy media. With the proposed approach, it is shown in numerical examples that some poles, very close to a branch cut, are successfully extracted in lossy media. The accurate calculation of the Green's functions in lossy layered media enables the accurate and efficient modeling of complex structures in lossy semiconductor substrates and new 3D IC structures including through-silicon vias (TSVs).
