How to correct for Turbo RuleFile warnings

RFStuff

Dear All,

I am using Turbo Tool Box in IC5141. I have created the Rulfilefor the foundry.

However I am getting warnning each time I open TurboTollBox as below:-

! Missing minSpacing rule for CONT drawing and PO1 drawing value set to 0.0.

Can anybody please tell:- Where I can change this value in the rule file ?

 

Also I tried to modify the Rule file. I couldn't figure out where I should do the cahnge.

Also when I try to enter the rules in TurboTool Form (Rule Files Utility) and save it, a form named /tmp/_leTbRules11270 comes up.

Which also gives warning as:-


------------------------ MISSING PHYSICAL RULES -------------------------
Some leTbRules are set to '0.0'. Toolbox commands may be affected if the
required physical rules are not established first.
_________________________________________________________________________

 

Some of my TurboCommands are NOT functioning as well.

 

Kind Regards,

    Hi RFStuff

    For contact_to_gate, you can just set it to the min-spacing value between cont-to-poly if the value can be found in the foundry design rule manual (DRM). In general, you should be able to resolve all the zero value warnings by providing appropriate values for all the fields in the toolbox utility form. If you are just using the basic toolbox editing functions, then it is actually not necessary to resolve all the warnings (e.g. ignoring the warning for pwell_notch, etc) should be fine. : )

    In general, I think the toolbox should work fine if you provide the values for all the poly/metal interconnect layers.


    Best regards
