installing TSMC 65nm standard cell libraries in IC 6.1

archive

Hi,

 

I have just downloaded a set of standard libraries in TSMC's 65nm process node

 I would like to make them appear in Cadence IC 6.1.3 library manager 

Do I have to use Vulcan to install them or just simply have to uzip them

 If I need Vulcan could you please point me out to any related literature describing the installation process

 

Best Regards

 Nik

    Hi

    I am using TSMC 65nm PDKs, and I ran the pdkInstall.pl. I answered questions about tecnology etc
     "  - TSMC Process Design Kit (PDK) Install Utility V1.0a -
     
        This perl script is used to install TSMC PDKs from the directory that
    contains the original distribution source files (a super-set of PDKs) to a
    specified destination directory according to the user specified options.

    Now the question is , How do i import them (PDK libraries) in virtuoso ? Can someone give me some documentation or link ?
