How to use procedure inside pcDefinePCell??

FormerMember
FormerMember over 14 years ago

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

    Hai ,

        Thanks for the help.

    I also want to know if i could write codes in two separate files and then link them.I meant if i create a code

     example: procedure( myProc(....... ) and save as myProc.il and based on the conditions in myProc.il can i create pcells in another code? Example: i make pcells using pcDefinePCell( ......) and save in myPcell.il.

    Is it possible to link myProc.il and myPcell.il such that pcell in myPcell.il is created based on conditions in myProc.il? If its possible how to run these in separate files and link,if this is not pssible,please ignore my post.

    Thanks,
