The Calibre xRC tool offers robust parasitic extraction, delivering highly accurate parasitic data for comprehensive post-layout analysis and simulation. This rule-based extraction tool processes a design layout using a two-dimensional representation of its physical shapes (e.g., GDSII). It identifies patterns within the layout that match predefined extraction models, performs calculations based on actual design dimensions, and generates an extracted netlist. This netlist includes both the design circuit and its extracted parasitic components.
