New Features in Expert Node Probing

Expert’s Node Probing is powerful tool for inspection of netlist components on layout. It is designed for highlighting layout objects electrically connected with each others.The additional features of Node Probing have been added in the new QT version of Expert. Because the layout extraction is being performed by hierarchical Guardian LPE, the user has possibility to get hierarchical node names troughout node tracing. The original net name in cell instance is keeping and is displaying aditionally to net name from top cell.

Parasitic Capacitance Extraction with Hipex and Exact

OverviewTo extract parasitic capacitances from a circuit layout, you need to perform the following steps:

Expert Layout Editor – New Commands Focus On Easier Operation

Expert layout editor version 4.0.1R has several new commands and functions released together with the new Qt GUI interface. Most of them are developed in order to improve easier operation.

Every time I create a new project or library, an empty cell with the same name is created in my project

Q. Every time I create a new project or library, an empty cell with the same name is created in my project. What do I need to setup to avoid the creation of this empty cell?

STELLAR – Process Based Parasitics Capacitance Extraction on Large Custom Cells

SILVACO has recently released a new suite of interconnect analysis tools to meet the demands of state of the art cell, circuit and chip design.

LPE Optimization with Clever/Hipex/Exact Linkage Methodology

On the cutting edge of LSI design, the accuracy of Layout Parasitic Extraction (LPE) tools is a critical issue to miniaturized LSI design of rules measuring 0.13 um or lower. The quantitative consideration of coupling capacitance based on three-dimensional calculation is indispensable. Conventional advanced LSI design tools and methodology are limited in their ability to optimize the LPE library. As a result, the discussion of LPE tool accuracy and extracted parasitic results lack significant quantitative generality.
