How to open layout.oa

TOKDOME

Last time I get some example of cell in .oa format (layout.oa).How can I open this file? Is any way to import it to virtuoso ? I will be grateful for help.

    The layout..oa file is the data file for the cellView but it has to exist in a library/cell/view context in order for Virtuoso or any OpenAccess tool to make sense of it. The foundry should have sent you a library which contains the cellView directories:

    libDirectory/cellDirectory/viewDirectory/layout.oa

    CMOS45/nmoscap/layout/layout.oa

    In addition, you need the technology file to define the layers used in the cell.

    If you already have the technology library, you can create the proper cell and view directory structure in your cell library directory and move the file into the view directory. No guarentee that it will work but it might.
