Hi, is magic usable for gds netlist extraction with and without parasitics? If that's not the case, how can we get those from klayout?

@aquiles viza magic is available for layout extraction with and without parasitics. For parasitics, you need to make a temporary totally flattened copy of the layout - hierarchical parasitic extraction is not supported. I do not think that klayout supports parasitic extraction.

So in gf180, magic is a reliable tool for netlist extraction. For lvs is just

ext2spice lvs

, but what's the recommended way of getting a netlist with parasitics? I think in use

ext2spice lvs

and then set

ext2spice rhtresh 1

,

ext2spice chtresh 1

and

ext2spice hierarchy off

but there are a lot of other parameters. Which ones should I use?

@aquiles viza here’s a previous discussion. Does this answer your question?

Yes, it helps, thanks. Also a friend was asking a similar question 2 posts below the referenced one. I'm linking it here as future reference https://open-source-silicon.slack.com/archives/C016YSAP6TZ/p1675458850043459
