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

  • I did give some ideas in my previous post.

    Here's a bit more detail though (I did a quick experiment). If you look at <IC5141instDir>/tools/dfII/samples/techfile/sample2003.tf it shows a couple of cdsViaDevice definitions (e.g. the one for M1_M2).

    If you define a via like this, you can then do:

    inst=car(geGetSelSet())
    inst~>layer1XEnclosure=0.3
    inst~>layer1YEnclosure=0.5
    inst~>layer1Direction="btrl"

    the direction can be any combination of the letters b (bottom), t (top), l (left), r (right) which indicates which sides the enclosure should be applied on. There are also the layer2 equivalent properties.

    I think that does exactly what you want.

    Note that the sample2003.tf tech file contains some OA-specific entries which will cause warnings if you load it (e.g the standardViaDefs and customViaDefs), but you can certainly borrow the ideas from this.

    cdsViaDevice is documented in the documentation too - just search for cdsViaDevice. In particular you can see this in the doc/ascitechfile/ascitechfile.pdf and doc/vlehelp/vlehelp.pdf
