Abstract

A precise IRDrop simulation method for a large-scale array circuit comprises the following steps: 1) dividing the array circuit to belong to different specified sub-regions according to an input region resistance process file; 2) initializing the data structure of the sub-region, and storing the position information of all unit circuits covered by the sub-region; 3) respectively extracting parasitic resistance of each sub-region; 4) generating netlist information of all circuits in the sub-region; 5, voltage and current equations of all nodes in the array circuit are established, node voltage and current information is solved and calculated, and IRDrop effect analysis is carried out on the array.According to the accurate IRDrop simulation method for the large-scale array circuit, an accurate IRDrop simulation result can be provided for circuit designers, and the influence brought by the IRDrop effect is accurately analyzed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of post-simulation design of semiconductor circuits in the automation of semiconductor integrated circuits, in particular to an IRDrop simulation method for large-scale array circuits. Background technique [0002] In the display panel circuit design and integrated circuit design, limited by the semiconductor process, the circuit connection traces will form parasitic resistance, and the circuit signal current will have IRDrop (IR voltage drop, which refers to the presence in the integrated circuit) when it flows through the traces. A phenomenon in which the voltage drops or rises on the power and ground network) effect, this effect will make the voltage value of the key node of the circuit not meet expectations and is especially obvious in large-scale array circuits, so the array circuit needs to perform parasitic resistance DC The IRDrop effect simulation is used to obtain the precise voltage value actually...
