Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for efficiently performing device changes directly in an extracted netlist, without requiring independent changes in a schematic design or layout view of the IC design. A disclosed method accesses a netlist for a selected device in a given integrated circuit (IC) design; and identifies a change to be made in the netlist. The system performs, based on the selected change to the netlist, at least one of changing one or multiple parameters of the selected device; adding a second selected device; removing the selected device, or changing an interconnect. The system can implement changes to the netlist using batch processing.

The first electrode (11a) is attached to a first carrier material (12) and the counter-electrode (11b) is attached to a second carrier material (13).
