Role of Netlist Extraction in Process Design Kits

Introduction

Netlist extraction and the quality of netlist extraction is becoming of increasing concern for integrated circuit design flow. As circuits become more complicated with concomitant reductions in geometry, the design engineer faces the ever burgeoning demand of accurate of accurate netlist extraction. This simulation standard will detail this important area of netlist extraction and will provide an insight into Silvaco International’s netlist extraction tools to aid the circuit design engineer.
