Abstract An efficient method to calculate the quasi-static capacitance of the via hole structure embedded in a multilayered dielectric media named Dimension Reduction Technique(DRT) is presented. Since the method takes full advantage of the characteristics of the stratified structure in integrated circuit, it can easily deal with the varied numbers of the dielectric layers as well as the varied structure parameters while only need little CPU time and memory space. The numerical results given in this paper are in good agreement with those of Ansoft’s software.
