Connectivity Mark Net for temporary layers

mvalery
mvalery over 14 years ago
I'm creating a temporary layer on the fly if a user wants to combine layer stackups for EM simulation. As an example M7 anded with M8 that enclose V7 will create a temporary LSW layer M7_M8. I've been trying different technology file skill commands to create the correct connectivity between the new layer and the old: M7 or M8 butting M7_M8 is a connection. Using techSetEquivLayer it works a little: techSetEquivLayer(techId list("M8" "M7_M8")) techSetEquivLayer(techId list("M7" "M7_M8")) Connectivity->Mark->Net, click on a M7_M8 fig, and it marks correctly. Connectivity->Mark->Net, click on a M8 fig, marks stop at the M7_M8 fig. If I create two M7_M8 figs that overlap, Connectivity->Mark->Net, click on a M7_M8 fig, mark stops at the clicked fig. Any answers or guess are appreciated. Thanks, Mark

     Hi Mark,

    I don't know which version you are using, and this could have a bearing on the answer. However, in both IC5141 and IC61x versions the Mark Net command has an Options form (F3 if the form is not shown) - and both have an option "Via Layers used by Mark Net" - Select Via Layers. Perhaps you can play with this to get the desired results?

    Hoping it helps,

    Lawrence.
