Abstract
First order analysis is required for LSI designers to determine the optimal structure because the microscopic structure determines the macroscopic behavior of an LSI structure. The combination of modeling the 3D structure with a spread sheet tool and utilizing an image based CAE system is discussed to achieve the practical solution for the analysis. The calculations of typical LSI models that require heavy man-power with the conventional CAE tools have been shown to be made in two orders of shorter time.
