Methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing compact manufacturing models in electronic design automation

A system for implementing a compact manufacturing model during various stages of an electronic circuit design, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory to hold programmable instructions for:
• identifying the electronic circuit design;
• identifying a manufacturing process which is used to fabricate a portion of the electronic circuit design;
• identifying physics based data for the manufacturing process;
• determining or identifying the compact manufacturing model for the manufacturing process based at least in part upon the physics based data, wherein the compact manufacturing model correlates a first characteristic of the electronic circuit on a first physical domain to a second characteristic of the electronic circuit on a second performance domain;
• and
• displaying a result of the act of determining or identifying the compact manufacturing model or storing the result in a computer readable medium.
