Abstract
Parameter population of cells for a hierarchical semiconductor structure via file relation is disclosed. One aspect of the invention is a computerized system that includes a global file of global variables, a plurality of local files, and a plurality of cells. Each local file relates a plurality of local variables to the global variables. Each cell corresponds to a local file and has a set of parameters corresponding to the local variables of the local file.
