How to call an instance into layout

Muralidhar

Hi,

I am writing a program to call the devices from the technology library (P cells) using the following code

master=dbOpenCellViewByType("cmos28g" "nfet" "layout")    ;cmos28g is the library, nfet is the cell name and layout is view name

paralist=list(list("W" "float" "0.5") list("L" "float" "0.5"))

dbCreateParamInst= (geGetEditCellView() master "instname"  list(0 0) "R0" 1 paralist)

By excuting this program I am getting the instance in my layout but not with the parameters that I specified. It is coming with the same parameters that are in the original layout (i.e., in the cmos28g library layout).

Is there anything wrong in the program ?  (or) Do I need to include anything else?.  Please clarify it.

Thanks.

  • The CDF parameters are defined with lowercase letters only (l, w). But when I use the lowercase letters in paralist like
    paralist=list(list("w" "float" 0.5) list("l" "float" 0.5))
    I am getting a warning in my virtuoso as dbCreateParaminst : Datatype for input parameter 'l' does not match with the definition
    and getting the result as nil.

    If I use uppercase letters atleast I am getting device.
