Abstract
A system for fabricating a semiconductor device includes one or more data processors configured to perform operations commanded by instructions stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The instructions include receiving a layout including a plurality of elements, extracting parasitic values associated with the layout to generate a resistance and capacitance (RC) netlist, generating a modified RC netlist by adding element names of the elements of the layout to the RC netlist, performing a post-layout simulation on the modified RC netlist to determine whether the layout meets a predetermined specification, and fabricating a semiconductor device based on the layout when it is determined that the layout meets the predetermined specification. The RC netlist includes the extracted parasitic values. The modified RC netlist includes a netlist table storing the element names and the extracted parasitic values.
