Abstract
A method performed by a processor, the method including preparing a netlist describing a first circuit including an active component; obtaining an original electrical characteristic of the active component, wherein an electrical characteristic of the active component is the original electrical characteristic in a condition that the active component has not been operated; obtaining an aged data describing a variation in the original electrical characteristic, wherein the variation is caused by operating the first circuit under a first mode and a second mode different from the first mode during a time period; providing a simulation result by simulating, based on an aged electrical characteristic, the first circuit operating under the first mode and the second mode during the time period, wherein the aged electrical characteristic is a combination of the original electrical characteristic and the variation.
