Hello guys,

As mentioned in the title, I want to ask you if you know how to define a new layer in the Cadence Layout, thank you very much for any answer.

Best regards,

    Thank you, I've tried and it works well. Would you answer me other three questions?

    1. For the Pcell, we can define the variable parameters by Stretch, but this will change the size of all the layers acrossed by the control line. If we want to change just the size of one layer of them, how should we do?

    2. Where can we define the rules of the new layer, like the space, extension and minimum size...... or can't touch another layer?

    3.  How to associate a new created layout of device with the symbol or schematic of the device? That's saying, if we modify the parameters of the device in schematic, the device in layout will change correspondingly.

    Thanks.

    Best regarde,
