I'm currently working on TSV(through silicon via) modeling, and try to get the electrical parameters (RLC) from sentaurus simulation.

part of my sdevice code:

System {

# c1,c2 are two sides of tsv, c3 is grounded substrate contact.

  TSV tsv_ (c1=f c2=m c3=b )

  Vsource_pset vf ( f 0 ){ dc = 0 }

  Vsource_pset vb ( b 0 ){ dc = 0 }

  Vsource_pset vm ( m 0 ){ dc = 0 }

}

Solve {

   #-a) zero solution

  Poisson

  Coupled { Poisson Electron Hole }

  Quasistationary (

                   InitialStep=0.1 MaxStep=0.5 Minstep=1.e-5

                   Goal { Parameter=vf.dc Voltage=-3}

                   )

                   { Coupled { Poisson Electron Hole } }

  Quasistationary (

         InitialStep=0.01 MaxStep=0.05 Minstep=1.e-5

         Goal { Parameter=vf.dc Voltage=3}

      )

      { ACCoupled (

             StartFrequency=1e9 EndFrequency=1e9 NumberOfPoints=1 Decade

             Node(f b m) Exclude(vf vb vm )

                     )

                     { Poisson Electron Hole }

                     }

}

After done the sdevice simulation, using inspect two port network analysis to get the Z parameter of the structrue.

My question is:

1.Why the parameter i trying to get equals to the value of Z22,  and in this case, what are the other parameters(Z11,Z12,Z21) stand for?  

2.When i change the sequence of the "f b m" in "Node(f b m) Exclude(vf vb vm )", the result of Z parameter changes, WHY? and what is the right to define simulation port of two port network analysis in sentaurus?
