How to create a transistor pcell in SKILL?

Hi,

I am new to SKILL coding.I have not done any pcell coding in SKILL.I would like to know whether we can create mosfet pcells using SKILL code.The way I tried to do this is using rodCreateRect( ) to create different layers of the transistor say diffusion,poly,contacts etc.and allign all these layers using rodAlign( ).But the transistor that got created could not be deleted at a time....ie.the layout is flattened.If i select the rectangle that I have set as reference and try to delete the whole transistor layout doesn't get deleted, only that particular layer is deleted.

The other way I found is to do using ?subRectArray.but the problem with that is, the number of contacts in a transistor will increase as the width of the transistor increase.So the number of sub-rectangles that have to be created is variable.How to do that?

Can anybody please guide me on this?

Thanks and Regards,

Elezebeth

    This is something in your environment - somebody has called either dbRegPostSaveTrigger or dbRegSaveTrigger (there's a couple of other triggers it might be) and then not defined the function. The function tscSchCheckDbcv is not one of ours - my guess is that the "tsc" might give you a clue - perhaps it is related to a design kit that you're using?

    It's probably harmless, and if you do:

    dbUnregSaveTrigger('tscSchCheckDbcv)
    dbUnregPostSaveTrigger('tscSchCheckDbcv)

    (since I don't know what kind of trigger it is), that should remove the trigger and hence remove the warning.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
