QRC extraction problem

Adam86

I'm at QRC stage now where I have encountered this extraction problem:

I even enabled the qrc extraction on icfb

setShellEnvVar("QRC_ENABLE_EXTRACTION=t")

  • Hi Adam

    You can modify the rule as:

    extractDevice( "devicepad" padOverDev padOverDev_top( "pad" ) yourSubLayer("sub") flagMalformed namePrefix( "X" ) termOrder( "pad sub" ) spiceModel("devicepad") cellView("devicepad auLvs cmrf8sf") ) saveProperty( padOverDev "c" 1e-15 )

    Please substitute "yourSubLayer" with the actual name of the substrate layer meant for devicepad cell. E.g. "psub", "bulk", etc. Just check the "B" pins of mos devices to know the layer name.

    In my example, "_recLayer" would correspond to your actual layer name "padOverDev". "layer1(A)" would correspond to "padOverDev_top(pad)".
