Parasitic extraction problem

PS90
PS90 over 10 years ago

I have made a CMOS based circuit and then developed its layout. The DRC, ERC etc. all shows no error. For parasitic extraction, i have used QRC. Still, no error shows and extraction completed successfully. But, when i see av_extracted view, only parasitics and pins are shown but no layout, because of that i am unable to do post-layout simulations. I am unable to understand this rather strange problem. So, i have attached some images of av_extracted and layout view alongwith the DRC and QRC setting on my setup. Please help in this matter.

    Thankyou for your valuable replies.

    All the DRC, LVS, ERC and QRC shows no error in my previous figures i previously posted. Infact for cross-checking, few circuit designs which already came with cadence virtuoso, i tried to run them too. Same problem is coming with them also. I have simulated "not" circuit from "mydesignlib" in cadence virtuoso 180nm technology.

    I tried doing post-layout simulation after parasitic extraction. Netlisting is not including any parasitics during simulation(using config view). May be due to this error of av_extraction. Please help me to solve this problem.
