How to use Cadence example in cadence_inst/tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/ROD/rodPcells for auto abutment?

TiNat
Hi, I have used PDK of XFAB (Germany Company) and Tower (Israeli Company).But recently in vlxhelp.pdf I have found an auto abutment capability in Layout XL. Unfortunately, neither XFAB Pcells nor Tower Pcells don't have such capability. I want to create my own Pcell with auto abutment ability. Firs of all I want to see how auto abutment look in practice. It is a good thing that Cadence has an example in cadence_inst/tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/ROD/rodPcells. I have install simple_mos components, copy symbol view nmos4 from analogLib. But auto abutment doesn't run. What is the matter? Skill file simple_mos.il contains abutment block. Where was I mistaken? Regards.

  • Early, I did the same. And now I have repeated once more. But there is one difference from the thing that you did: I didn't enter code setSkillPath(prependInstallPath("samples/ROD/rodPcells")) because in CIW appear value nil, when I enter invalid code such: setSkillPath(prependInstallPath("ROD/rodPcells")) in CIW appear ("my_inst_path/ic5141_isr/tools.lnx86/dfII/ROD/rodPcells"). I don't understand why is it. And I copy three folders (install components and utilities) from folder rodPcells to my folder PDK_SVVF from which I run Cadence. And after enter code load("install/spcLoadInstall.il") . I think that is not important how to install pcell. Of course, I can be mistaken. But at finish I haven't result...I attach screen, which t result of my work. P.S. I'm sorry, that I spend your time. Thanks anyway for your help. But no luck for me with auto abutment.
