Abstract:
Over the last four decades, integrated circuits have progressed from being nonlinear-circuit-dominant to linear-network-dominant. Industry have developed hierarchical methodology and incorporated state-of-the-art solver to provide a stable, accurate, and scalable solution for the future process technology and design generations within the SPICE-like simulation framework. In the meanwhile, a transformative extraction-free circuit simulation paradigm to fundamentally overcome the shortcomings of the existing simulation frameworks has been proposed. Going from layout to simulation directly, an electromagnetics-based circuit simulator of linear complexity, linear speedup, minimal order, and unconditional stability has been developed. This talk will share original ideas and first-hand experience in both state-of-the-art SPICE and electromagnetics solutions for IC simulation.
