 Hello, Everybody!

                          I am using cadence IC514 version and with a PDK kit called "gpdk90". My intention is to instantiate an inverter (same as a mos transistor) and I would like to change its parameters if I wish. I had searched some cadence documents and in result I found following files   inv.callback, inv.devices, inv.cdf & inv.il. But I am not getting how to attach these files to my current gpdk library..to get an inverter in my layout window......?

Can You guide me in this way......

                      Thanks in advance....

                                                     Prabhakar. K

     These SKILL files can be loaded into the working session when a library is opened by the libInit.il file in the library. This is automatically executed when the library is first opened. It is used to load any SKILL which is required by the cells in the library.
