How to get metal spacing rules in skill

Amar Kumar

Hi,
To get the spacing between metals for a particular technology , am using the below line.

techGetSpacingRule(tech_id "minSameNetSpacing" metalName)

Here, arg1 -> technology id,    arg2 -> the constraint name,    arg3 -> metal name

This above statement returns the spacing between the metal,but it is not applicable when the layer purpose came into consideration.

Like the last argument takes only the metal name not the purpose name .

So please suggest a solution to get the spacing rules between a particular layer like ("M1" "dummy").

Thanks,

Amar Kumar

    Hi Amar,

    I might be wrong but surely the layer is "M1" regardless of the purpose?  I would expect "M1" rules to apply to all purposes of "M1". What do you mean when you say "... but it is not applicable when the layer purpose came into consideration." ?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
