Abstract:
The present invention improves the accuracy of parasitic capacitance extraction of IC designs with floating fill. One embodiment of the present invention approximates the coupling capacitances of fill nets beyond an exact-approximation level by a fill net elimination method whereby actual capacitances of the fill net to the variable level are fully extracted and remaining capacitances are approximated.
