Automatic Optimization Algorithm for a Direct 2D and 3D Mesh Generation from the Layout Information

摘要

A new algorithm has been designed and implemented, that allows for the automatic generation of an optimum 2D and 3D grid for device simulation from the information available at the circuit-layout level. The tool fills a gap in the top-down design chain of integrated circuits, easing the task of circuit designers who are often unaware of specific features of device-modeling tools.
