Abstract:
A method and apparatus generates thermal partitions for metal interconnects of an integrated circuit, based on interconnect self heat data and mutual heat data. Each of the thermal partitions includes data identifying thermally related interconnects and respective temperature values associated with each of the thermally related interconnects. Thermally related partitions that can be computed efficiently and simultaneously and the results then integrated using superposition for the full chips.
