Back annotate the extracted parasatics from layout to schematic

Senan

Hello,

After performing the layout exctraction step, the parasatice elements I can see it on the cell of the extracted view,

These elements are distributed everywhere and it is difficult to debug the circuit with regard these parasitics.

I am wondering if there is a tool that back annotates parasitic elements to the origional circuit schematic?

I am using Cadence Virtuoso version IC6.18-64b-500 and Assura tools

Thank you in advance

Best Regards

    Virtuoso Parasitic Aware Design User Guide -- Parasitic Aware Design in ADE Explorer, and ADE Assembler - Parasitic Report Assistant (that's just one chapter, the rest of the manual covers various other parts). This shows how to report parasitics from (say) extracted views, and then how to show the sum of capacitance and effective resistance annotated onto the schematic, but you can also probe where the parasitics are on the layout for any net.

    There's a rapid adoption kit too: Parasitic Aware Design (PAD) Flow
