On-the-Fly Device Characterization from Layouts of Circuits

摘要

A design system includes a layout module and a user interface. The layout module includes a computing unit, which is configured to extract layout parameters of an integrated circuit device in a circuit during a layout stage of the circuit, and calculate circuit parameters of the device using the layout parameters. The user interface is configured to display the circuit parameters of the device in response to a user selection of the device.
