Global library with layout view which able to use in all processes

kbhow

Hi,

Is it possible to construct a global library with layout view which able to use in all processes? If yes, do you mind providing the proper way to do that. Thanks

BTW, Noticed that each process has their own techFile and layer mapping as well, if we create the layout in particular process, the layout will not able to work on other process due to imcompatible data.

Your advice/suggestion is very appreciated.

  • Hi all,

    I think i found the solution for this. To create a library which able to use globally, we can use incremental techFile method. We can create a new library and techFile.tf that contains layers that use in the layout and load it, then save it as tech.db. The layer names and numbers in the techFile.tf cannot be the same as other techfiles. Otherwise it will lead to errors during techfile compilaton.

    Then, in the main tech file, add global library to refTechLibs eg: refTechLibs("cs1234" "globLibrary")

    For all other processes, you can now simply add "globLib" in refTechLibs and the library "glodLib" in cds.lib to ensure that users can make use of the rdt cells. This is basically the concept of incremental techfiles.
