Help on pcell code.

Sarvani
Sarvani over 13 years ago

hi all,

        I created pcell using the code specified in rod objects in my install directory. To achieve it entered following code in my CIW and created pcells. My version is 6.1.

setSkillPath(cons(prependInstallPath("samples/ROD/rodPcells")
getSkillPath()))
load("install/spcLoadInstall.il")
spcInstall()

         Pcell working fine without any errors. Then I created a schematic with all options(fingers, multipliers....) and get all devices in layout by doing Gen From source. When I overlap two pcells then it automatically adjusts side by side by merging drains and taps. Now I need control of that adjustments because I didn't get minspacing at drain/source merging. 

 

Thank you.

    It's not a "techfile" function. If you have an abutFunction to control auto-abutment, the abutFunction can return the offset. Search for "abutFunction" in the documentation - there's an explanation of it there. In the sample pcell code, it's in components/mos/mos.il (function is called spcMosAbutFunction)

    Andrew.
