  • Patent number: 8312406
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for performing RC extraction. The present approach can consider multiple types of manufacturing processes, and allows location-based prediction data to be used in the context of net-based analysis. RC extraction can be more accurately performed based upon net-specific top and bottom adjustments to thickness prediction that are location-based. The net-based prediction data can be used for other purposes as well, such as to perform electrical hotspot analysis, to visually display physical properties of the nets, or allow queries for other data analysis purposes.

  • Patent number: 8219944
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for performing RC extraction from the perspective of the block level. A translation mechanism is employed to convert from a full-chip design domain to a block-level design domain. This allows model-based prediction results to be used in the early design implementation flow when parasitic RC and timing extractions are performed, where the model-based prediction results relate to predictions of manufacturing variations such as thickness and topography.

  • Patent number: 7723163
    Abstract: A method of forming a pre-molded lead frame having increased stand-offs includes the steps of attaching a first tape to a first side of the lead frame and a second tape to a second side of the lead frame. The taped lead frame is placed in a mold and a first flow of mold compound is initiated. The first flow of the mold compound fills a space between the first tape and an upper mold chase of the mold. A second flow of the mold compound then is initiated. The second flow of the mold compound fills the spaces between a die pad and leads of the lead frame. The first and second tapes then are removed from the lead frame. Improved stand-offs are provided because the first tape was depressed by the first flow of the mold compound.
