Unified material-to-systems simulation, design, and verification for semiconductor design and manufacturing

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memory devices comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a material or process change for a semiconductor manufacturing process;
• translating the material or process change into a database of characteristics;
• generating primitive circuit structures using the database of characteristics;
• performing an electrical characterization of the primitive circuit structures;
• providing an output of the electrical characterization to a script to generate compact models;
• generating a lite version of standard cells;
• generating a digital system based on the lite version of the standard cells;
• and
• evaluating a performance of a software algorithm on the digital system to determine an effect of the material or process change for the semiconductor manufacturing process.
