Move Metal offgrid back on grid

TobyK
TobyK 10 months ago

Hello,

we imported a layout from an older technology which has a min. BEOL grid of 0.005µm to a new technology which has a min. grid of 0.01µm. Is there an efficient way to move all offgrid shapes on the new grid?
Since the layout is quite large, it would save us a lot of work if there was an automated solution.

Best Regards

    You can do this via streamout/in.

    File -> Export -> Stream...

        More Options: Geometry -> Limit

        Change the DBUPerUU and snap to the new grid.

    N.B. 0.01 will be 100 DBUPerUU

    Surprised the "new" technology is a larger min grid.
