Help on creating via at specified points

venuuuuu

 hi all,

       First i planned to draw the prBoundary where i want to place the contacts. When I run this code  the contact's are placed at where mid point prBoundary layer in layout. But previous values of rows and columns are created at latest prBoundary.

 My code is below. What is the problem. Is there any code to getspecified contact at specified location.

 cv = geGetEditCellView()
lpp= list("prBoundary" "drawing")
shapes = setof(y cv~>shapes y~>lpp==lpp)
;x=layerselect
x=car(shapes)
y1=yCoord( upperRight(x~>bBox))
y2=yCoord( lowerLeft(x~>bBox))
x1=xCoord( upperRight(x~>bBox))
x2=xCoord( lowerLeft(x~>bBox))
dx=x1-x2
dy=y1-y2
mx=x2+(x1-x2)/2
my=y2+(y1-y2)/2
no.columns=round((dx-.2)/.4)
no.rows=round((dy-0.2)/.4)
leHiCreateContact()
hiRegTimer("le0ContactForm->rows->value = no.rows" 1)
hiRegTimer("le0ContactForm->columns->value =no.columns" 1)
hiRegTimer("hiiToggleEnterForm(le0ContactForm)" 1)
mx:my
cancelEnterFun()

  • The problem is that the enclosures are class parameters, which means that they are common to all instances of the contact. To get around this you'd probably need to declare your own syEnhContact device (see <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/samples/techfile/syEnhContact.tf as an example, although it doesn't address this particular problem) which had additional formal parameters which allowed you to override the enclosures. You might be able to do this with cdsVia devices too (I'm not sure though and don't have an example to try).

    It's certainly doable in IC61 with stdVia devices even, but in IC5141 the built-in vias are more limited.
