How to modify Pcell Transistor's metal/contacts?

 Hi All,

Can you please help to do the following in IC6.1 layout:

1. Change the width of Metal over the transistor S/D. Assuming technology library is untouchable

2.  Move contacts of Pcell transistor

3. Change number of contacts in Pcell transistor S/D

4. BTW, how to make ESC key working when want to cancel popup windows?

 Thanks!

Aram

    Unless the pcell has parameters to support moving the contacts or changing the number of contacts (sometimes they have stretch handles on them, which you can enable via the Options->Display form), then you'll need to flatten the transistor and modify it.

    What kind of popup windows are you talking about? Options forms for enter functions already get cancelled when hitting Escape.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
