SEMICONDUCTOR CIRCUIT DESIGN METHOD, MEMORY COMPILER AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

A semiconductor circuit includes an array of repeating blocks, each of the blocks having a device, and at least one signal line connecting the devices of the blocks. A model of the semiconductor circuit is generated to include a functional area corresponding to at least one first block of the array, and a loading area corresponding to at least one second block of the array. In the functional area, parasitic parameters of the at least one signal line and the device of the at least one first block are extracted. In the loading area, parasitic parameters of the at least one signal line are extracted, but parasitic parameters of the device of the at least one second block are not extracted.
