automatic parametrised layout

 hello all ,

                 I am novice in SKILL language. Can anybody help me to generate layout of different components. My aim is to write  a SKILL code that will take parameters like length width finger number and will generate layout of the transistor with those given parameter.

Thanking in advance

     Hi Sabyasachi,

    In addition to what Quek has said, there are some sample SKILL PCell code examples in the installation hierarchy, and also a generic Process Design Kit ("gpdk") that you can look at and play with.  Take a look in the following directories:

    <cds_install_dir>/tools/dfII/samples/ROD/rodPCcells

    <cds_install_dir>/tools/dfII/samples/tutorial/abstract/pdk

    where "<cds_install_dir>" can be found using "cds_root icfb", for example. Also the documentation contains example PCell SKILL code, though you may have to dig for it.

    regards,

    Lawrence.
