ASSURA LVS PROBLEM FOR AMI C5 PDK

CHECKMATE

Hello,

I designed a simple inverter circuit and was testing the new AMI C5 PDK I received from MOSIS.

I ran the design rule check using assura and it worked fine and ir gave me no DRC errors.

Then when I ran the LVS using assura. I added the correct extract file and the correct bind.rul file and ran the LVS and it works fine.My schematic and Layout matches.

 But when I ran the LVS using assura having added the correct extract file, the correct compare rule file and the correct bind.rul file.It gives me the following error:

"Error - netlisting (dfII "....") rule can not be used with other schematic netlist rules.

*ERROR* encountered while reading avCompareRules.

 *ERROR* Syntax errors in file '/home/jhasan/AMI_C5/LVS_RUN/TEST.rsf'

Note I am running it on ASSURA version 3.1

This is the compare.rul file I received from MOSIS for the AMI C5 PDK:

Please let me know how I can solve this bug in assura.

  •  Hello Quek,

     

    I am little bit confused!

     When you mentioned that "Comment out the line in following line  in compare rules using a semi-colon."

     So, this is my new compare.rul file:

    ;  filter( "BCOFGPX")
    ;  bindingFile( "lvs.bind")
    ) ; end of avCompareRules (AMIS Technology Development)

     

    So,  basically commented out everything except the avCompareRules line in compare.rul.

    I also added the cdl netlisting in the Netlisting Option window.

    Then when I ran the LVS, then it works fine.

     I just want to double check is that you wanted me to do.

    Or did you want me to  just comment out the "schematic (netlisting(cdl strcat(getShellEnvVar("AMI")"/tech/ami500hakx/current/cdl/box.cdl"))" line and leave the others uncommented.I tried that but then LVS gives me errors.

     Please let me know.

     

    Thanks
