Monte Carlo Simulations of Extracted Layout

MohsenShah

Hello,

I wanted to do the Monte-Carlo simulations on a extracted layout (DC analysis). As recommended by a previous comment, I made a "config" view for the test-bench and did the DC analysis in ADEL successfully. However, when I am going to do it for the extracted view in the ADEXL, I receive this error:

"Monte Carlo run stopped because no statistical data generated for the test"

Does anyone has an idea how can I solve this problem? As another question, can I use some schematic designs together with these extracted views and do the Monte Carlo simulations on them? In other words, I do not have the layout of some blocks but I like to know how to they work with the extracted blocks. My Cadence version is IC6.1.6-64b.500.6

Thanks!

    Hi,

     Does this error pop up in the beginning , middle or end of the postlayout simulation? Once you click on the "Close" button in the pop-up form, what errors you get in the Results tab? Select one of the errors and then do RMB. If "Output Log" is there can you have a look for errors there and possibly share that part of it? 

    To answer your last question, you can run MC simulations having both schematic and extracted views together. 

    Regards,

    Dimitra

    Thank you for your prompt response. Error started in the beginning of the simulation. I understood that I have forgotten to include libraries in the the Model Library in the ADE XL. Now that I included them, I ran the simulation successfully. Thanks!
