TLUPlus table is a binary format for storing RC coefficients. TLUPlus model including the effects of the width, space, density and temperature coefficient of resistance, allows accurate RC extraction results. For more information about model these effects in interconnect technology Format (ITF) file, see StarRC documentation.
To TLUPlus model is used to estimate and RC extraction, specify the following documents:
mapping file, the map file name Milkyway technology file layer and name of the ITF file to match.
The largest TLUPlus model file.
TLUPlus smallest model file (optional). If the minimum and maximum operating conditions and TLUPlus different models with derating factor, you must specify the minimum TLUPlus file. In this case, you must specify the minimum file
even if it is the same as the maximum number of files.

The meaning of the ITF and TLUplus file
Taken icc user guide:
TLUPlus is a binary table format that stores the RC coefficients. The TLUPlus models enable accurate RC extraction results by including the effects of width, space, density, and temperature on the resistance coefficients. For details about modeling these effects in the Interconnect Technology Format (ITF) file, see the StarRC documentation.
To use TLUPlus models for RC estimation and extraction, you specify the following files:
The map file, which matches the layer and via names in the Milkyway technology file with the names in the ITF file.
The maximum TLUPlus model file.
The minimum TLUPlus model file (optional). Specifying the minimum TLUPlus file is necessary if the minimum and maximum operating conditions are different and the TLUPlus models have derating factors. In that case, the minimum file must be specified
even if it is the same as the maximum file.
