Capacitor Shown with Red 'X' in Layout for TSMC65 pdk

Hi there,

I am facing a problem when using the layout function to do further design. The other components like mosfets could work well. But the mimcap was shown with a red box filled with a red 'x'. I would like to know what could be the source of this problem and how I could solve this. The graph about the problem is attched to this post.

    Is it a problem? The 'X' could just be the fill pattern for a layer within the cell.

    Is the 'X' a marker at the top level or within the cell?

    The Annotation Browser can be used to identify errors/markers.

    The Dynamic Selection Assistant can be useful to identify what shapes/layers are under the cursor.

    Hi RobMan,

    Thank you very much for your time and assistance!

    As I’m still quite new to this area, I initially thought the issue might be similar to the previous one in the layout section. I now realize it was simply a layer meant for component placement. Your explanation has really helped me understand the situation better.

    Thanks again for your support!
