Setting up Corners Analysis pcf dcf files

JustinTaylor86

 Hi,

 Does anyone know how to setup the Corner Analysis Tool.

 I would like to know how to add in a process and different corners as currently nothing appears.

 I am using the process tsmcN90rf

 

Thanks,

 Justin

    That sounds as if it is quite an old version of the PDK. In a more recent version, in the root of the PDK there's a models/spectre directory which contains a file tsmcN90rf.pcf which can be read into the corners tool to set up the corners. You can also use the loadPcf() function to load this from SKILL. In the 1.0 version of the PDK (if it's the same process option you're using), there's no pcf file though - but as I said, that's rather old (the dates on the files are all from 2005).

    The right thing to do however is to consult any documentation for the PDK, or if not there, to ask TSMC themselves.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
