If your substrate is a epi-layer on top of a highly conductive
bulk, you may try simple models like the ones proposed by Su (IEEE J.
Solid-State Circuits, April 1993), or van Genderen (IEEE European
Design and Test conference, 1996, available on
http://dutentb.et.tudelft.nl/research/space.html). You will also find
a free tool in that web page.
If you have a uniform lightly-doped wafer, you'll probably need a more
dense resistive mesh. There is a commercial software at
http://www.snaketech.com

I can send tou a list of references on the subject, if you feel a
particular interest.

Xavier
