Abstract:
A method and structure for performing parasitic extraction for a multi-fingered device comprising of establishing a maximum processing width of a finger of the device, dividing fingers of the device that exceed the maximum width into sub-fingers, determining whether ones of the fingers and the sub-fingers have similar characteristics, combining ones of the fingers and the sub-fingers that have similar characteristics into combined fingers, and extracting parasitic values from the fingers, the sub-fingers and the combined fingers.
