How to use Quantus QRC for extraction

engrvip

I have been using Calibre xRC for parasitic extraction and now want to use QRC for same purpose.


What is the qrcTechFile ? And how it is created ?

Can I create it from my Calibre xRC rule decks?

    Commonly the qrcTechFile is provided by the foundry. It's widely supported, so you should request it from your foundry.

    You can build it yourself starting from an "ICT" file (which describes the layer thicknesses, dielectrics etc) and uses a solver to build the models for common layout patterns (this is done using techgen). The information on all of this is in the QRC documentation.

    You wouldn't start from your Calibre rule decks.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
