Open Source Parasitic Extraction for KLayout

This presentation was held on July 3, during the Free Silicon Conference (FSiC) 2025 at IHP Microelectronics in Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany. It provides an overview of the parasitic extraction tool KLayout-PEX, a new, open-source, multi-engine parasitic extraction tool, currently developed as a proof-of-concept prototype in Python. Supporting multiple engines simplifies comparisons during the development phase, and will eventually offer the end user different trade-offs between speed and accuracy.
