Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method to generate a device library, along with layout versus schematic (LVS) and parasitic extraction set-up files for connecting with official tools of a design window supported by a process design kit (PDK). The device library comprises passive devices which can be utilized at any point in an end-to-end design flow from pre-layout verification to post-layout verification of an integrated circuit design. The device library allows for a single schematic view for pre-layout verification but also post-layout verification, thus allowing for pole or pin comparison, and prevents double-counting of parasitic effects from passive design elements by directly instantiating a device from the device library for a verification step. An LVS and parasitic extraction graphical user interface (GUI) allows for incorporation of the generated device library into a pre-existing PDK without any modification to the PDK. Other devices and methods are also disclosed.
