INTEGRATED CIRCUIT MODELING METHOD USING RESISTIVE CAPACITANCE INFORMATION

A method of modeling an integrated circuit comprises generating a schematic of an integrated circuit comprising a first circuit component. The schematic comprises a first representation of the first circuit component. The method also comprises replacing the first representation with a second representation of the first circuit component. The second representation includes resistive capacitance information (RC) for the first circuit component. The RC information is based on first RC data included in a process design kit (PDK) file and second RC data included in a macro device file. The second RC data is based on a relationship between the first circuit component and a second circuit component. The method further comprises selectively coloring the second representation of the first circuit component in the schematic based on the RC information. The coloring of the second representation is indicative of whether the integrated circuit is in compliance with a design specification.
