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 Nik,

    Not sure about the "ccs" format (I assume this is something to do with "liberty" (aka ".lib") format for Synopsys tools?). I don't think you would want to import these into Virtuoso.

    For the back end libraries, I suggest you start by using Tools->Conversion Toolbox and then using the CDB to OA conversion from there, as it's GUI based.

    Again, you didn't give much detail, so can't give more specific advice. Can you ask TSMC?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
