Abstract:
1. A method for passive device generation, comprising: generating a schematic representation of a circuit comprising active devices with a schematic design tool; instantiating a passive schematic design element from a passive library with the schematic design tool; assigning a functional parameter to the passive schematic design element in the schematic representation, the functional parameter comprising an S-Parameter, Lump-Model, or a polarization parameter; generating a layout representation corresponding to the schematic representation with a layout design tool, wherein generating the layout representation comprises converting the passive schematic design element into a passive layout design element; extracting first electrical properties of the layout representation with an extraction tool without extracting second electrical properties from the passive layout design element to create a post-layout netlist; and assigning the functional parameter to the passive layout design element in the post-layout netlist with a parasitic extraction set-up file coupled to the extraction tool.
