QRC Parasitic Extraction Issue (netlist has source/drain flipped on many instances)

Hi,

   I am working on a analog design in Cadence IC6.1.4.500.5, and I have completed the layout of the chip with DRC, LVS, floating gate check that is clean (I amworking with IBM's CMRF7SF process).After I ran Assura QRC to generate av_extracted, and av_analog_extracted views I go back into my testbenches to run toplevel sims with these new views, and I am running into problems.

   I am comparing the netlist with extracted views, and I noticed that on many of the NMOS and PMOS devices, the source and drain is flipped from what I intended them to be in my design. For example, I expect N1 to have a netlist of N1(D G S B) according to my schematics, and instead of that, the parasitic netlist of the instance N1 has a netlist of N1(S G D B). Wondering why that's the case. I passed LVS, and this only shows up in av_extracted and analog_av_extracted views... Thanks for any tip/advice from you!

    Hi jimstuy

    a. If the connections are still correct, it is not an issue.
    b. Please press "switches" button in the Assura LVS form.

    You can also consider contacting your local Cadence support so that you can send them a testcase for more detail checking. : )

    Best regards
