Sunil,

I believe you will find that the Greenfield modeling and simulation software
from Quantic Labs in Winnipeg, Canada would handle this sort of problem.
It's been quite a while since I used those tools (6-7 years, at least), but
they did have both 2-D and 3-D varieties of this tool . I think one of their
basic training modules covered an example similar to your case.

Regards,
Tony Dunbar

Subject: [SI-LIST] : via capacitance

Dear all SI experts.

I am using a multilayer board having the following stack-up:

LAYER1 TOP LAYER (CONDUCTOR)
LAYER2 GND
LAYER3 CONDUCTOR
LAYER4 CONDUCTOR
LAYER5 VCC
LAYER6 GND
LAYER7 CONDUCTOR
LAYER8 CONDUCTOR
LAYER9 GND
LAYER10 BOTTOM LAYER (CONDUCTOR)

A signal trace is going from layer7 to layer8. A through-hole via is used.
The via is having pads on layers 1,7,8,10. There are antipads on the power
planes. Is there any formula/tools to calculate the exact capacitance of
the via?? How can I measure it in the board??
