Abstract

Embodiments include herein are directed towards a method for electromigration analysis of a circuit design. Embodiments may include performing a first transient simulation of an electronic design using one or more electronic design tools. Embodiments may further include storing a level of current associated with one or more generic passive device tap points. Embodiments may also include identifying a resistor capacitor (RC) model for one or more generic passive devices using the one or more electronic design tools and performing a second transient simulation for the one or more generic passive devices. Embodiments may further include analyzing a current density obtained from the first and second transient simulation to obtain a single current density map.
