Cadence Virtuoso Technology Files and Libraries

Ozan23

Hi,

I want to design some circuits in virtuoso. Schematic and layout are included of my design. I need simulation libraries(5V nmos and pmos) of schematic, also layout technology files. How can i take these files? 

Thanks in advance.

    If you're designing for a real technology, you should get a PDK (Process Design Kit) from the foundry in question, which should include transistors and models.

    If you are doing this as an academic exercise, then you could use one of the Cadence Generic PDKs (gpdk) for 180nm, 90nm, 45nm or FinFET nodes. I suspect if you want 5V designs, 180nm is likely to be the closest viable option for you. These can be found at http://pdk.cadence.com (you'll need a support login for this).
