Graphical Pcell creation help needed

custom
custom over 13 years ago

I'm having several problems trying to create a finger cap pcell where the user can size the cell, spacing between metals, width of metal fingers, layers available, and via size. My problems are 1)when I resize the finger width the vias come off the metal (these are flat rectangles)  2) I want the vias to size to whatever the technology allows. Is there a way to do this or will the user have to define the size. (I want to be able to use this no matter the technology). Does anyone know how I can fix these problems?

thanks, Mark

PS - I'm using 6.1.3

    Hey Lawrence,

    You are correct on both accounts. I am not much of a coder and the combed “fingers” are interleaved and they are the same shape. If you have any examples that would be a great starting place for me to learn. For now I will go read everything there is about doing it in SKILL-based.

    thanks,

    Mark
