Abstract:
Disclosed is technology for evaluating the performance, power, area, and cost of a new or significantly modified IC fabrication process. A layout of a circuit design is provided, the circuit design including pins, transistors, and interconnects. The interconnects have at least two endpoints, each of the endpoints being either a terminal of a transistor or a pin in the circuit design. The locations for a plurality of transistor and interconnect endpoints in the layout are identified. A three-dimensional circuit representation is fabricated in accordance with the layout and the fabrication process. Parasitic resistance and capacitance values are estimated for pairs of interconnect endpoints which share an interconnect in the three-dimensional circuit representation. An annotated netlist is developed for the plurality of the transistors interconnects endpoints identified from the layout, and which further indicates the parasitic resistance values and parasitic capacitance values estimated from the three-dimensional circuit representation.

Claim (Index 39):
The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 27 , wherein estimating parasitic resistance values between at least one pair of the interconnect endpoints which share an interconnect comprises simulating a current flow through the shared interconnect from one endpoint of the pair to the other endpoint of the pair in the three-dimensional circuit representation.
