Quantus Field Solver—Industry’s First Cloud-Ready, Massively Parallel 3D Extraction Solution
RLCK extraction you trust!
The Cadence Quantus Field Solver is a built-in 3D capacitance field solver offered with the Quantus Extraction Solution. This random-walk-based field solver can handle any capacity, provides faster turnaround times, and provides best-in-class accuracy.
Overview
Introduction
The Quantus Field Solver has been certified and qualified at multiple foundries and provides better accuracy versus foundry golden. It supports both LEF/DEF- and GDS-based designs for signoff extraction, and is production proven at multiple customer sites with multiple tapeouts, ensuring on-time tapeout and first-time silicon success.
3D Problems Require 3D Solutions
The Quantus Field Solver raises the bar for signoff parasitic extraction turnaround time for all types of designs at all technology nodes. The Quantus Field Solver provides a breakthrough in 3D parasitic extraction by introducing cloud-ready and massive parallelism that significantly improves the performance of 3D field solvers while allowing designers to get the accuracy of a 3D field solver.

This new cloud-ready, massively parallel Quantus Field Solver addresses the challenges faced for design characterization and other critical design types, which typically require 3D accuracy but can’t afford the performance of a 3D field solver. Now, designers are empowered to use a field solver solution to get 3D accuracy without compromising performance.
The Quantus Field Solver specifically addresses the following design types:
Summary
For advanced nodes, specifically FinFET, 3D field solver accuracy is a must. Designers can no longer afford to compromise on accuracy as it may lead to performance loss and convergence issues for SoCs and other designs. The Quantus Field Solver removes the performance bottleneck for a field solver while providing the required accuracy.
