One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for estimating parasitic capacitance for an integrated circuit. During operation, the system reads a technology file, which describes the composition of a vertical cross-section of the integrated circuit. Next, the system reads a design file, which specifies the layout of the integrated circuit. The system then identifies a set of dielectric configurations based on information contained in the technology file. It then computes Green's function for each of these configurations. Next, the system estimates a parasitic capacitance using information contained in the design file and using the set of Green's functions.
