摘要: A method estimates the capacitance effects of an interconnect prior to routing integrated circuit (IC) design, as follows. The design is divided into areas. Capacitance for each area are estimated based on congestion ratios within area. derived from estimations demand resources in net net-list included IC design. Coupling vectors ratios. then by looking up a database using coupling vectors. resulting per-area used estimate traversing total due multiple areas determined applying dimensions portions
