Naming contacts in Skill

wakeup12
wakeup12 over 11 years ago

 I have a PMOS pcell designer using GUI. Then, I converted it into SKILL file.

 However, I would like to name the contacts as Source and Drain to do a routing later on. 

 Could someone give me an example on how to do that in SKILL? Thank you,

    Do you really mean that you want to name the contacts? Surely you just want pins on the metal (and possibly the diffusion regions) for the source and drain? If so, can't you just create those pins in the layout editor and have the stretch lines affect them too? I'm not sure what use naming the contacts would be.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
