import a GDS file into virtuoso

Graphene1

Hi all, 

As part of my final project in Micro electronic devices, i would like to open a GDS file in virtuoso . I was trying to do the following steps: 

1. create new library

2. in that library -  File->import->Stream

In the  end of that process I couldnt find any new layout to open.

Does anyone has an idea?

Thanks!

  • When you first created a library, it contained no real technology information. (It was attached to a default library). This is the problem.

    I think you will see more information if you import the GDS2 file with the option "Generate Technology Information From Stream File" checked.

    This will automatically generate a new technology library for you.

    The layer map file is used to map the gds layer numbers to real layer names in your technology library.

    From your description, I don't think you have a correct technology library set up. So you will not see anything
