ADE L | post-layout simulation | input.scs error

 Hi

after a successful extraction and a LVS without any diference, I setup the ADE L in order to perform post-layout simulation and without any error, However, when I start to run a transient simulation I get te following error:

 

 ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 13: +1 is an instance of n undefined modeltsmc25dP.

 ERROR (SFE-23): "input.scs" 13: +0 is an instance of n undefined modeltsmc25dN.

 Do any konw why I got these errors? does the library that im using does not inlcude these models ?

 

thanks for your help

 

regards 

rik

    Hi rik

    I will assume that you are using QRC for parasitic extraction. I have seen this bug for another design. The spacing between the model and value has been accidentally left out in the spice netlist and hence resulted in the undefined model error during spectre simulation. Would you please retry using the latest version of QRC in EXT911?

    As a workaround, you can use a text editor to replace all "tsmc25dN" and "tsmc25dP" with "tsmc 25dN" and "tsmc25dP". I believe that your pdk (process design kit) from tsmc includes these models in the model files.

    When posting a question, it would be great if you can identify the specific tool versions so that we can come up with the most appropriate suggestions. E.g.

    unix>virtuoso -W
    unix>assura -W or pvs -version
    unix>spectre -W
    unix>qrc -version

    Best regards
