CALCULATING CIRCUIT-LEVEL LEAKAGE USING THREE DIMENSIONAL TECHNOLOGY COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND A REDUCED NUMBER OF TRANSISTORS

摘要

A method for calculating leakage of a circuit including a plurality of transistors includes simulating a three-dimensional model of the circuit, wherein the simulating accounts for a subset of the plurality of the transistors that includes less than all of the plurality of transistors, and calculating the leakage in accordance with the three-dimensional model.
