net parasitic capacitance

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a design block that features two crucial nets for which I need to determine the parasitic capacitance. My goal is to perform a post-layout analysis, so it's vital for me to find a convenient method for this task. I prefer not to use ADE for this purpose. Instead, I'm considering using Calibre for targeted extraction on these specific nets. Could anyone provide guidance or suggest how to proceed with this? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

  • Well, ADE isn't an extraction tool - and it's not clear why you wouldn't want to use ADE to at least drive the simulation. Anyway, you've stated that you want to use Calibre for the extraction and not want to use a Cadence tool as part of the flow. So it's a bit odd asking here (which anyway is a forum for non-technical questions about the Cadence forums) about a non-Cadence tool (Calibre). You would be better off asking Siemens EDA about this.
