Method of generating r,c parameters corresponding to statistically worst case interconnect delays

摘要

A method of generating R,C parameters corresponding to statistically worst case interconnect delays for computer simulation of integrated circuit designs, comprising the steps of: computing a statistically worst case interconnect delay from randomly generated material and geometry values characterizing an integrated circuit interconnect process; computing a representative set of material and geometry values corresponding to the statistically worst case interconnect delay; and computing R,C parameters corresponding to the statistically worst case interconnect delay from the representative set of material and geometry values.
