Abstract
An embodiment method of streamlining parasitic modeling using a common device profile includes importing, using a processor, a simulated middle end of line (MEOL) profile into a characterization tool, generating, using the processor, a MEOL pattern based on the simulated MEOL profile, import, using the processor, the MEOL pattern and a real profile into a field solver to generate a MEOL capacitance table, updating, using the processor, capacitance data in the characterization tool based on the MEOL capacitance table generated, and generating, using the processor, a resistance and capacitance parasitic extraction technology file using the characterization tool with the capacitance data as updated.
