VLSI question regarding parasitic-extracted layout

May 02, 2006 1 Replies

Hi, i'm not sure if this workgroups is suitable for VLSI questions but since this is the closest i managed to found so i'm going to post it here, hope you guys don't mind.



I'm working on a simple project of building a 6T SRAM cell. In the question, the a section of the report requires "Simulation results of the parasitic-extracted layout". Unfortunately, since my instructor is not around for a few days i have no one to ask so i was hoping if anyone here can explain to me what is it? And how do i obtain it?



I'm using the layout tool called MAGIC.



Thx guys....



I don't know how to do it, but your layout tool can EXTRACT a netlist from your layout that includes the parasitic capacitances (and sometimes metalization resistances).
