Semiconductor circuit design method, memory compiler and computer program product

摘要

A method of designing a semiconductor circuit includes generating a model of the semiconductor circuit. The model includes a functional area corresponding to a first block of the semiconductor circuit, and a loading area corresponding to a second block of the semiconductor circuit, wherein the first block is connected to the second block by a signal line. The method further includes extracting, in the functional area, parasitic parameters of the signal line and a device of the first block. The method further includes extracting, in the loading area, parasitic parameters of the signal line, without extracting parasitic parameters of a device of the second block.
