Abstract generator gdsii file import problem

Dinesh Varma4

Hello,

First I exported  File-> export-> stream. and .lef file of inverter designed using cms9flp technology

Once the file were exported then i invoked abstract generator and i gave library, when i was trying to import gdsii file i am getting the following errors.

ERROR ABS-216: There are insufficient metal layers defined in the current design. You must define at least two metal layers in the validLayers subsection ofLEFDefaultRouteSpec constraint group of the technology file. These layers must have the layer function metal in the functions section. Update the technology file and attach it again.

ERROR ABS-218

There are no vias specified in the technology file. Ensure that the selected constraint group has a ValidVias section or at least one via is specified in the standardViaDefs subsection of the viaDefs section in the technology file. In addition, ensure that the function argument is set to 'cut' for the via in the functions subsection of the layerRules section and then try again.

I updated the technology file which was suggested by cadence help but still i am getting the same error

can some one please help me to resolve this error.

I really appreciate your time

Thanks.

    The problem is when ever i was giving my library  its not using the technology library that i dumped and modified.

    Can you tell how exactly you resolved this error?
    I have drawn schematics and layouts and created symbols for basic gates (and2, or2, nand2, nor2, xor2, inv) usign Virtuoso. I want to use these for synthesis with Cadence Genus.
    Is this possible?

    The training videos provided for the COS account only tell me how to use Genus. Can you please guide me as to how i can port my library created using Virtuoso to Genus for synthesis of HDL files? What all views need to be created for each cell?

    My final aim is to create a standard cell library that can be used for synthesis. As of now, I only have basic gates but I will add more cells later.
    As of now, I want to try out some synthesis using these basic gates.

    Thanks in advance!
