    摘要: A system and method for extracting the parasitic contact/via capacitance in an integrated circuit are provided. Parasitic extraction using this system can lead to an improved accuracy on contact/via parasitic capacitance extraction by taking into account of the actual contact/via shape and size variation. The common feature of the various embodiments includes the step of generating a technology file, in which the contact/via capacitance in the capacitance table is derived from an effective contact/via width table. Each element of the effective contact/via width table is calibrated to have a parasitic capacitance matching to that of an actual contact/via configuration occurring in an IC.

    摘要: A method includes providing a layout of an integrated circuit design, and generating a plurality of double patterning decompositions from the layout, with each of the plurality of double patterning decompositions including patterns separated to a first mask and a second mask of a double patterning mask set. A maximum shift between the first and the second masks is determined, wherein the maximum shift is a maximum expected mask shift in a manufacturing process for implementing the layout on a wafer. For each of the plurality of double patterning decompositions, a worst-case performance value is simulated using mask shifts within a range defined by the maximum shift.

    摘要: A method includes determining model parameters for forming an integrated circuit, and generating a techfile using the model parameters. The techfile includes at least two of a C_worst table, a C_best table, and a C_nominal table. The C_worst table stores greatest parasitic capacitances between layout patterns of the integrated circuit when lithography masks comprising the layout patterns shift relative to each other. The C_best table stores smallest parasitic capacitances between the layout patterns when the lithography masks shift relative to each other. The C_nominal table stores nominal parasitic capacitances between the layout patterns when the lithography masks do not shift relative to each other. The techfile is embodied on a tangible non-transitory storage medium.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for generating a through-silicon via (TSV) model for RC extraction that accurately models an interposer substrate comprising one or more TSVs. In some embodiments, a method is performed by generating an interposer wafer model having a sub-circuit that models a TSV. The sub-circuit can compensate for limitations in resistive and capacitive extraction of traditional TSV models performed by EDA tools. In some embodiments, the sub-circuit is coupled to a floating common node of the model. The floating common node enables the interposer wafer model to take into consideration capacitive coupling within the interposer. The improved interposer wafer model enables accurate RC extraction of an interposer with one or more TSVs, thereby providing for an interposer wafer model that is consistent between GDS and APR flows.
