Parse instance brackets in Ocean

BVT1

Hello there,

I am trying to save/print the vth of a MOS in instance DIODE<0> using Ocean. The pointy brackets do not seem to work with Ocean. I tried one backslash, two backslashes and none in front of each bracket. The latter option seems to be going through okay (i.e. Ocean doesn't complain), but the result is nil.

 This is what I've tried with no success:

"VDSAT_MD"  "DC"  "OP(\"BIAS_MIR.DIODE\<0\>.MMIR0.mds\" \"vth\")

"VDSAT_MD"  "DC"  "OP(\"BIAS_MIR.DIODE\\<0\\>.MMIR0.mds\" \"vth\")

"VDSAT_MD"  "DC"  "OP(\"BIAS_MIR.DIODE<0>.MMIR0.mds\" \"vth\")

 Any help will be much appreciated.

 Thank you

  • Hi Lawrence,

    I just cracked it!

    The DC Operating Point results in ADE give you the following expression for a MOS parameter:

    OP("BIAS_MIR.DIODE\\<0\\>.MMIR0.mds" "vth")

    Since we need to escape both " and \ in the expression above for Ocean to parse it with no errors, and given that the above expression uses double \, I escaped each of the " and \ above resulting in the following working expression:

    OP(\"BIAS_MIR.DIODE\\\\<0\\\\>.MMIR0.mds\" \"vth\")

    I hope it makes sense and helps others with similar issues.
