incorrect extraction issue

kristen
kristen over 14 years ago
I am working with Virtuoso version IC6.1.3.500.13 and mentor 2011 (also have access to older versions and have previously used 2009). The pdk I am working with apparently has a known bug (confirmed by the foundry) such that the extracted transistors are always incorrect - instead of a 10 finger fet with total width 8um, for example, the tool extracts 10 transistors, 1 finger each, EACH with a width of 8 um. does anyone have any suggestions on how to manually fix this so i can run simulations on the extracted circuits using the config view? I have tried 1. manually editing the calibre view to ensure the correct width for each fet - i then get the error Error (OSSHNL-109) : the cell view, [name of calibre view], has been modified since the extraction. Re-extract the design (File->Check and Save menu option) for schematic cell views to correct this error. 2. copying and pasting extracted circuit to a schematic view - i then get the error ERROR (ADE-6026): Unable to create the netlist due to failure of the following operating system command "cat: ihnl/cds1/netlist: No such file or directory". Thanks.

    Hi Kristen

    Would you please check the following?

    a. In ADE-L netlist, does the line for the cell look similar to the following?

    I5 (net1 net2 net3 net4) 100GHz_half_backup

    If not, how does it look like?

    b. Please go to "Setup->Environment". What are the values for "Switch View List" and "Stop View list"?

    c. Would you please execute the following cmd in ciw and paste the output?

    ddGetObj("Osc_layouts" "100GHz_half_backup")~>views~>name



    Thanks
