Describing the interconnect stack so tools can calculate resistance and capacitance: the interconnect technology file, the extraction decks for each supported tool category, and the electromigration and current density rules, correlated with measurements on silicon test structures. Working extraction is part of the beta kit; extraction correlated to silicon goes into the pre-production kit.
