Using Inherited Parameters in PCells

msharma

 Friends,

 I am creating a custom pcell, through the graphical layout method. The custom pcell layout contains an instance of a pdk pcell. I have inherited a parameter 'width' among others from the pdk pcell to my custom pcell. In my custom pcell, I need to repeat contacts based on the value of width. But, it is not possible to use parameter 'width' in repetition expressions. The software gets confused, and assigns 'width' as a new parameter.

 

Do you know how to reference the inherited 'width' parameter in my custom pcell, without confusing the software? Any responses are appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mohit

    This is my first time with images on the forum, so I hope you can see the images.
