Abstract :
This paper describes a parallel algorithm of an automated CMOS circuit extraction that transforms an IC layout into a circuit netlist suitable for circuit simulations. Using reconfigurable parallel machine architecture, the newly developed algorithm achieved a circuit extraction performance which is a constant time complexity. The layout of a CMOS inverter used successfully to demonstrate an efficiency of the newly developed algorithm
