Towards a VLSI packaging design support environment (PDSE); concepts and implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A software shell is being developed for assisting in VLSI package design. Called Packaging Design Support Environment, the shell integrates tools for modeling and simulation of electrical characteristics of VLSI packages. Parameter extractors tools calculate inductance and capacitance for multiconductor, multi-dielectric, two-dimensional structures with lossy dielectrics. The simulation tools compute pulse response characteristics of uniform, multiple, coupled and lossless transmission lines. The PDSE shell provides facilities for supporting the package design cycle. Such sup port facilities include an interface to couple PDSE with a CAD design data base, model and simulation experiment libraries, simulation management procedures that guide evaluation of alternative design models, and data analysis sup port tools. Expert Systems techniques are being incorporated in PDSE.
