One workspace. Every stage of the model.
Move from layout and fabrication process to the mesh, solver output and electrical response. Keep the command-line workflow available for established scripts and automation.
01 · Prepare the layout
Inspect GDS geometry, layers and structures, and organise the files for your model.
02 · Define the process
Review layer-stack and material information alongside the project.
03 · Inspect the mesh
Check the 3D geometry and mesh before interpreting extraction results.
04 · Explore the fields
View field results and streamlines to understand the electromagnetic response.
05 · Review the response
Inspect S-parameter models and export results for further analysis.

Extract the parameters your design depends on.
Choose the extraction and analysis capabilities that match your circuit, process and packaging requirements. Availability varies by edition.
Electrical parameters
Inductance, resistance and coupling
Extract circuit parameters, including mutual coupling between structures.
Capacitance and transmission lines
Analyse capacitance with multiple dielectric layers and extract characteristic impedance.
Fields & response
Fields and materials
Analyse external magnetic fields, flux-trapping locations and critical-field behaviour, with support for permeable materials.
S-parameters
Extract and inspect frequency-dependent network response.
Models & interconnects
Packaging and interconnects
Model wire bonds and other interconnect structures alongside your circuit.
Compact circuit models
Extract SPICE-compatible models for circuit-level work. InductEx-LVS provides a separate layout verification workflow.
Three editions. A clear starting point.
Start with the calculations your project needs. We can help identify the appropriate edition and confirm the licence and release requirements for your process.
Basic
A starting point for multi-terminal inductance extraction.
• Cuboid meshes and MQS inductance
• Parameterized IXI geometry
Professional
A broader set of meshes and electrical calculations.
• Tetrahedral and hybrid meshes
• Field plots and parameter sweeps
Super
Advanced extraction and analysis of the EM environment.
• Multiple dielectrics and S-parameters
• Packaging, compact models and LVS

WORKING WITH INDUCTEX-LVS
InductEx-LVS is a separate verification workflow. Studio can export a technology description from supported LDF process data for use with InductEx-LVS.
