S-Parameter Model Extraction

---

After the simulation is complete and you refresh the Electromagnetic Solver assistant, the status of the model is changed to Done and the S-Parameters file is returned to Layout MXL.

Before extracting the S-Parameters into an extracted view, you can view and analyze the results. If the models are ready to be used in the schematic view for further analysis, save them in an extracted view, which contains n-ports with S-Parameters. When you place these models in the schematic view, it deletes the existing instances and models, and creates instances or nets using the components from the extracted view. It further re-establishes the connections of the extracted nets and instances using n-ports.

Depending on the type of layout or the type of devices you selected for a model, the Electromagnetic Solver assistant lets you create S-Parameter models in different ways.

• To extract everything, minus very few excluded cells, use full cellview extraction.

If you want to extract only the selected nets, you can choose from the following options:

• If the selected nets are XL compliant, you can use the XL mode.
• If the selected nets are not XL compliant or you want to stitch into a Smart View, use the LVS flow.
