Error: Failed to elaborate("Library Name" "Cell Name" "config")

Did you solve  the problem?

Victor,

Which problem are you talking about? The original description was rather vague, so please provide details of what your actual issue is. Even the "elaboration" question was probably related to using an old AMS flow (cellview based netlisting) at a guess (since I don't know really what the issue was).

Andrew,

It happened when I did postlayout simulation. The format of the output of PEX is Hspice, and I set the cell view to SPICE source file in the config. The version of  cadence is IC615 and the simulator is AMS, the NETLIST AND RUN MOD is Cellview-based netlister with ncvlog, ncelab, ncsim.

That just looks as if you haven't provided the spectre models for the transistors via Setup->Model Libraries in ADE.

By the way, it's not really a good idea to be using such an old version of the tools.

What spectre models should I provid and which way of postlayout simulation would you recommand. I would be very appreciate it.

Presumably if you simulate anything with the transistors in, you'd need to provide spectre models for the transistors themselves. It's the same models you're using to do that - the models provided with your PDK (design kit) from the foundry.

I'm not sure what you're asking when you ask "which way of post layout simulation would you recommend".

I can perform the pre-simulation with the model shown in the picture. I don't know why it is not working for the postlayout simulation. For "which way of post layout simulation would you recommend", I mean what tools should I use to perform the postlayout simulation, since that you told me "it's not really a good idea to be using such an old version of the tools."

It's not obvious to me why it's not working if you providing the model files and the models contain models for the units it is complaining about. It's really hard to diagnose just by a screenshot of some of the error, so contacting support would be a better approach.

However, given that you're using software that is between 9-10 years old (that's what I was pointing out as being a problem), our opportunities for support are quite limited. Why not use IC6.1.8? Then you can use the newer Unified Netlisting AMS flow which is a lot simpler in terms of PDK support.

Thank you for your relpy, it's really helpful.
