How to use procedure inside pcDefinePCell??

FormerMember
FormerMember

Hi ,

  Is it possible to create a pcell based on runnig of procedure?? I meant if the procedure has many conditions inside it, it should be able to produce pcell for each condition.

If calling a procedure inside a pcDefinePCell is not effective,then how can i link two codes.I meant i make a code using procedure(xyz(....))

in a code named myCode.il and in another code named myPCell.il i create pcells based on conditions given in myCode.il??

Can this be done??

Thanks,

C10

  • Hi Carlton,

    Yes, you can do this. For example, here's an excerpt from a pcell definition done this way:
