Contents

In the classical theory of quasi-stationary fields the displacement current is entirely neglected in Maxwell's equations. While this approximation is successful when induced currents are important, it is inappropriate for microelectronic devices where the law of induction is much less important. On the other hand, here the eddy-current-free quasi-stationary approximation is suitable, which for typical microelectronic devices is valid at all frequencies of technical interest.

Übersicht

In der klassischen Theorie quasistationärer Felder wird in dn Maxwellschen Gleichungen der Verschiebungsstrom vollständig vernachlässigt. Während diese Näherung sehr erfolgreich ist, wenn induzierte Ströme wichtig sind, ist sie für mikroelektronische Bauelemente, wo das Induktionsgesetz weit weniger wichtig ist, ungeeignet. Dagegen ist hier die wirbelstromfreie quasistationäre Näherung anwendbar, die für typische mikroelektronische Bauelemente bei allen technisch interessierenden Frequenzen gültig ist.
