Raphael
PDF Icon High res
PDF Icon Low res

Raphael is the gold standard, 2D and 3D resistance, capacitance, and inductance extraction tool for optimizing multi-level interconnect structures and on-chip parasitics in small cells. As a reference field solver, Raphael provides the most accurate parasitic models in the industry. Trusted by major foundries, interconnect parasitics generated by Raphael are included as part of their design reference guide.

Benefits
  • Analyze complex on-chip interconnect structures and the influence of process variation
  • Create a parasitic database for both foundries and designers to study the effect of design rule change
  • Generate accurate capacitance rules for layout parameter extraction (LPE) tools
