Patent ID: 11928416
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A method of generating a new technology file for process technology assessment, comprising:
defining a scope of the process technology assessment by assessing changes between an original process technology that includes original layout parameters and a new process technology that includes first layout parameters;
modeling a first object in an integrated circuit into a first resistance in the first process technology and a first capacitance in the first process technology;
generating a first resistance scaling factor that is multiplied by an original resistance in the original process technology to provide the first resistance and a first capacitance scaling factor that is multiplied by an original capacitance in the original process technology to provide the first capacitance; and
integrating the first resistance scaling factor and the first capacitance scaling factor with an original technology file corresponding to the original process technology to generate the new technology file, wherein the new technology file is utilized by an electronic design automation (EDA) tool for simulation of the integrated circuit.
