As far as I am aware Cadence post layout extraction (Assura or diva) cannot extract inductance, and hence cannot extract transmission line effects.

Why can't you just shorten the length of the IBM modelled "singlewire" (i guessing this must be the new incarnation of the "indline" model they used to use).

To do things properly, you would need to use another tool to extract the layout tracks in terms of transmission lines.
Anyway what is your frequency and how long are your tracks ? you might invest a lot of work for little actual performance change to your circuit.

Hi all,

sorry for responsing late, yes, as Andrew said, the best way is to buy licenses of the Cadence for RCX,
but considering I'm in the University, we will only pay for the RCL extraction licenses, hopefully it's useful.

Also, other tools can extract inductor effects I heard is Ansoft Link for Virtuoso Or RFDE.

Thanks.

Jerry,
 My experience has been that the extraction tools are only as good as the technology files and process parameters fed to them.  Generally they do a good job but I have found that they rely on several parameters of the process technology that sometimes get skimped on or overlooked by the foundary.  So as long as you trust that the foundary has modeled/measured many of the process paramters critical for your extraction tool and have not used simple default values, you can expect that the tool will be reasonably accurate.

Generally they do a good job for the RC, its sometimes they miss paramters critical for the K and especially the L.
