RLC Extractor & 3-D Visualizer

Hyungsuk Kim
, Tsung-Hao Chen and Charlie Chung-Ping Chen

 

bulletDescription:
RLC Extractor (ie) extracts resistance, inductance and capacitance for general conductor system and generates SPICE file to simulate it.
3-D Visualizer (ieviewer) displays conductor system in 3-D and provides functions of zoom-in, zoom-out and rotation.
bulletEnvironment: 
PC with windows operating system 
bulletDownload & Installation:
RLC Extractor:    copy execution file ie.exe to your directory
                         copy fastcap file fastcap.exe to your directory
3-D Visualizer:    copy execution file ieviewer.exe to your directory
                         copy glut32.dll to WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory
bulletExecution:
(under DOS command window)

1) ie        –i  input_filename -t technology_filename  
   
         [ -o SPICE_filename ] [ -f  0|1 ] [ -b 0|1 
            [ -d dielectric_constant ] [ -a 01|10|11 ]
            [ -h horizontal_cut ] [ -v vertical_cut ] [ -c directional_cut ]

options Description Default
-o   Name of SPICE file spice.sp
-f   Use Fastcap or not 1
-b   Generate geometry file for xcap
-d   Dielectric constant  4
-a   Extraction of capacitance and/or inductance 11
-h   Number of horizontal cut 0
-v   Number of vertical cut 0
-c   Number of directional cut 0

2) ieviewer      input_filename (example)

bulletInput File Format:
Example : input.txt
bulletTechnology File Format:
Example : tech.txt
