    Hi Inas Mostafa

    Parameter refers to the usual parameters (e.g. W, L, etc) that you can find on any regular pcell. You have to parameterize something in your layout (e.g. draw a rectangle and assign "w" as the width parameter).

    The cell tutorial in IC5141 package gives you step-by-step guide on creating a graphical pcell. It would be better for you to look through it.

    Best regards
