rod PCELL (Metal with slot)

Avadh

I am new to pcell and trying to create a rectangle metal with slots. (by provinding size of slot, x and y enclosure etc..)

I can easily do it using Layout editor by drawing a rectangle and by using Create-> Slot

How can I create slot when I used rodCreateRect to create a rectangle and want to use same kind of options available in Create->Slot to create slot in pcells.

Any example skill file will be appreciated.

  • Another way is to use rodCreatePath with offset rectangles and subPaths to draw metal, leaving spaces between the slot filler metal. There is some up front calculation to break down the width into metal/slot/metal/slot/metal... steps and make sure that there is sufficient metal width on the two outer edges. I would calculate the exterior path widths and then calculate where the slots would need to be required such that I don't create a wire that is too skinny. Then draw the path with rodCreatePath. It will work with orthogonal paths only.

    When digitizing the path, I use enterPath with a full width path and then pass the points to the pcell.

    Hi All,

    I need to have a slot with diagonal corners. What do you suggest to do in this case?

    Thanks.

    As outlined in the forum guidelines, please don't post on the end of an old thread with a new topic such as this (even if it's somewhat related to the old thread).

    So please start a new thread, with pictures showing what you actually want to do.

    Andrew.
