寄生参数提取 Parasitic extraction

在EDA中，寄生参数提取（寄生析出）是在设计设备和电子电路要求的线路相互连接着两者之间的寄生效应的计算，诸如寄生电容、寄生电阻、寄生电感等寄生效应的计算，一般地称之为寄生设备，寄生元件或者简称为寄生参量（寄生效应）。

寄生参数提取的主要目的是创建电路的一个精确模拟模型，这样，详细的仿真能精确模拟数字和模拟电路的响应。数字电路响应常用于填充数据库，为了信号延迟和负载计算，例如：时序分析；功率分析；电路仿真以及信号完整性分析。模拟电路常在更详细的试验台上运行来指示额外提取的寄生参数对设计的电路对其功能是否可行

The major purpose of parasitic extraction is tocreate an accurate analog model of the circuit, so that detailed simulationscan emulate actual digital and analog circuit responses. Digital circuit responsesare often used to populate databases for signal delay and loading calculationsuch as: timing analysis; power analysis; circuit simulation; and signalintegrity analysis. Analog circuits are often run in detailed test benchesto indicate if the extra extracted parasitics will still allow the designedcircuit to function.

Background

In early integrated circuits the impact of the wiring wasnegligible, and wires were not considered as electrical elements of thecircuit. However below the 0.5-micrometretechnologynode resistance and capacitance of the interconnects started making asignificant impact on circuit performance.[1] With shrinking process technologies inductanceeffects of interconnects became important as well.

在早期IC中，线路的影响是忽略不计的，线路不被视之为电路的一个电子单元，然而，互连线路的低于0.5mm的技术节点电阻和电容开始对电路产生了显著影响。随着紧缩的工艺技术，互连的电感效应也变得重要。

Major effects of interconnect parasitics include: signal delay, signalnoise, IR drop (resistive component of voltage).

互连寄生参数的额主要影响包括信号延迟，信号噪声，电阻压降（IR drop）（电压的电阻分量）

Interconnect capacitance extraction

互连电容提取

Interconnect capacitance is calculated by giving theextraction tool the following information: the top view layout of the design inthe form of input polygons on a set of layers; a mapping to a set of devicesand pins (from a Layout Versus Schematic run), and a crosssectional understanding of these layers. This information is used to create aset of layout wires that have added capacitors where the input polygons andcross sectional structure indicate. The output netlist contains the same set ofinput nets as the input design netlist and adds parasitic capacitor devices betweenthese nets.

Interconnect resistance extraction

互连电阻提取

Interconnect resistance is calculated by giving theextraction tool the following information: the top view layout of the design inthe form of input polygons on a set of layers; a mapping to a set of devicesand pins (from a Layout Versus Schematic run), and a crosssectional understanding of these layers including the resistivity of thelayers. This information is used to create a set of layout sub.wires that haveadded resistance between various sub-parts of the wires. The above InterconnectCapacitance is divided and shared amongst the sub-nodes in a proportional way.Note that unlike Interconnect Capacitance, Interconnect Resistance needs to addsub-nodes between the circuit elements to place these parasitic resistors. Thiscan greatly increase the size of the extracted output netlist and can causeadditional simulation problems.

The tools fall into the following broad categories.

工具分为下面的广泛类别

Field solvers provide physically accurate solutions. They calculate electromagnetic parameters by directly solving Maxwell's equations. Due to high calculation burden they are applicable only very small designs or to parts of the designs.
