question about skill

Inas
Inas over 9 years ago

Hello,

I have a schematic and layout and i need to run DRC, LVS , PEX and simulate using the calibre view using a skill code.

So how can i do that?

Thanks

BR,

Inas

    Hello

    Please i need to get a script that can generate a layout pattern.
    I'll have a procedure that will take the following:
    1) Transistor library
    2) Transistor name ex: nch
    3) Number of transistors
    4) Name for every transistor
    5) Channel length
    6) Total Width of each transistor
    7) Building unit fingers nf and wf width per finger
    8) Multipliers of every tansistor.
    9) Upper /lower dummy nf & wf
    10)Right/left dummy nf & wf
    11) Pattern distribution with sharing their sources.

    what i have got that about sharing the sources topic is once i know the origin of a transistor i can get an equation like this

    "origin of 1st instance+ (nfunit*channel length)+ (no of OD spacings = nfunit * OD abutted spacing)" this to get the origin of the next instance in the row at this point which will make the sources to be shared. i got that when i converted a layout to skill so i found it uses lxCreateInst with this coordinated for every instance.

    I need to draw this pattern with all terminals connected virtually using pins.

    Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
    Du M9 M9 M6 M9 M9 Du
    Du Du M6 M7 M6 Du Du
    Du M9 M9 M6 M9 M9 Du
    Du Du Du Du Du Du Du

    can you help me please with doing this script as i'm a very beginner with skill and its too difficult.
    My thought is if i have a 2D array that i can fill under these conditions so how can i script this pattern generator?

    Thanks
    Regards,
    Inas
