In this letter, we discuss the impact of intrinsic error in parasitic capacitance extraction programs which are commonly used in today's SoC design flows. Most of the extraction programs use pattern-matching methods which introduces an improvable error factor due to the pattern interpolation, and an intrinsically inescapable error factor from the difference of boundary conditions in the electro-magnetic field solver. Here, we study impact of the intrinsic error on timing and crosstalk noise estimation. We experimentally show that the resulting delay and noise estimation errors show a scatter which is normally distributed. Values of the standard deviations will help designers consider the intrinsic error compared with other variation factors.
