question about cadence virtuoso

titanic
titanic over 13 years ago

 hi,

I used to use another EDA tool for layout. I could define multi finger mos transistor with different widths, assign # of metal contacts customary and even orientation of the metal contacts.

Now i use cadence virtuoso and i see very limited options on create instance mos( I use UMC 90 kit).... which limits layout optimisation.


Is there some adjustments required..?


thanx in advance

    This is not a limitation of the tool, but almost certainly a limitation of what the design kit has chosen to implement. The best thing would be to contact whoever provided the design kit.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.

     Is there a way to check whether a kit is installed properly or not. ?

    That is going to be specific to the "kit". There is no one way that design kits have to be organised or released - so you'd also have to ask the design kit provider if there is something that can be checked.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
