摘要
The paper presents an incremental electromagnetic (EM) simulator that is capable of simulating layout variants without compromising accuracy. Simulation efficiency in such situations typically is more than an order of magnitude faster than the initial solution of the same layout. This solver is also compatible with automated design flows in which a layout optimization tool creates design variants and uses an EM simulator as an evaluator.
