I was reading an article regarding Layout dependent proximity effect.
In the section under "Why should I care about this effect?", I got this -
1. Proximity effects can de-rate FET current by 10% (or more), or shift
threshold by several 10’s of mV.
2. • De-rating factors can only be calculated after layout extraction,
i.e., ignored in schematic-extracted netlists.
Can you please explain both the points. I couldn't get the meaning of it.
Thank a lot in advance
