creating ICT file

yazdan

hi,

 I am going to create ICT file. I have all the documents about creating ICT. What I am wondering about is how I can extract the data needed in ICT file. Are there any other files that I should look the get the data needed in ICT file?

 Thanks

Parents

  • Hi yazdan

    May I know the IRdrop tool which you are using? Is it EPS (Encounter Power System)? To know the layer names used in the qrcTechFile, you can use the following cmd:

    terminal>strings qrcTechFile

    If you have a complete QRC tech directory in which there is a "p2lvsfile" or "layerSetupFile", you can also look at those files. ictfile is usually not created by an end-user. It is created by foundry. Foundry mostly only provides qrcTechFile and not the actual ictfile. We do not encourage end-users to create their own ictfile and qrcTechFile as it might lead to inaccurate RC extraction.
