Device for and method of simulation, method of setting manufacturing process condition, and recording medium

摘要

A block dividing means (2) receives an original netlist (D1) defining a circuit to be simulated, selects a to-be-analyzed block specifying a device included in the circuit to be simulated based on input parameters provided from a parameter input means (1), divides the selected to-be-analyzed block into a plurality of to-be-analyzed sub-blocks, establishes an electric connection between the plurality of to-be-analyzed sub-blocks so as to provide a circuit configuration equivalent to the to-be-analyzed block, and finally outputs a modified netlist (D2) defining a new circuit to be simulated in which the to-be-analyzed block is replaced with the plurality of to-be-analyzed sub-blocks. A circuit simulation means (3) performs a circuit simulation on the new circuit to be simulated which is defined by the modified netlist (D2). A device for and method of simulation provides a simulation result which reflects the shape of the device in a short period of calculation time.
