Increasing the enclosure of the metal

bunny956
bunny956 over 15 years ago

Hello,

Can any one help me on developing a Skill code that can automatically increase the metal enclosure around a via. The enclosure value must be equal to the via spacing.

For example: If we are using a 5x5 via which has a spacing(deltaX) of 0.40),(default metal enclosure is 0.05 say) then even the metal enclosing the via must be equal to the DeltaX value.

Thanks and Regards,

Bunny

     Are you using vias from techlib or some custom library?

    If it is techlib and if you have edit permissions then you can add/create your own vias with such enclosures IMO.
