ASSURA 3.1.6 error message

yoyega

Hi,

I am working with IC.5.1.4 (Cadence version 07/08) together with austriamicrosystems HitKitV3.70. I am trying to run DRC with ASSURA 3.1.6 on my layout but I get the following error message:

Reading the design data...
*WARNING* Inconsistent DBUPerUU in the design
*WARNING* 160 is not the same as 1000
*WARNING* Cell:  PRIMLIB pcapacitor symbol
Failed to build VDB.
*****  dfIIToVdb terminated abnormally  *****
*WARNING* dfIIToVdb exit with bad status.
*****  aveng terminated abnormally  *****
*WARNING* /ic_tools/v0708/cds/ASSURA.3.1.6/tools/assura/bin/aveng exit with bad status
*WARNING* Status 256
*WARNING* Assura execution terminated

 I am using austriamicrosystems setup files with design rules. I have been trying to find why are these errors appearing but still have no clue. Can anyone give me any tips?

 

Thanks and regards,

Pedro

  • My guess is that you're trying to run DRC on an inappropriate view. It's complaining about a pcapacitor symbol, which should NOT be in a layout. Symbols often have this DBUperUU.

    Perhaps you accidentally tried to run the DRC on an extracted view? That could well have instances of pcapacitor to represent the extracted parasitics, and I can imagine this would trigger this kind of error.
