How to extract area parameter to cdl netlist for capacitors

TiNat
Hello. I've created transistor level library for CMOS process. This library is supported IC5.14 and need for studying. In manual anasimhelp I've read that capacitor can extracted in cdl netlist C W L and area. But only C is present in my netlist. I try copied cap from analogLib to my own library and filled all fields like in manual in cdf Simulation Information. But again in netlist is present only C and model. Probably, I need create some skill file in order to extract area in cdl netlist. For diodes in netlist area is present. What can I do, for extraction area to cdl netlist for capacitor? Regard.

  • The standard ansCdCompPrim will netlist C if specified in the instParameters, OR area, OR area computed from W*L. So if C is specified, that wins, then if area is specified that wins, otherwise W and L can be used. This is because historically Dracula (which is where CDL originated) could either verify the value or the area of a capacitor, and not arbitrary parameters.

    Quek has explained how to output general parameters.
