pcell

Hello,

writing skill code for the diode(pcell) .How to get(calculate) the area of diode from techfile??

Thanks and regards

    Which tech file are you talking about? I don't know anything about a Virtuoso tech file that contains the area of a diode...

    then how to determine the min dimensions of diode.

    Thanks

    This will rather depend on the layout structure of the diode, whether the tech rules for those layers are in the tech file, and whether the minimum device size corresponds to the simple layer rule info (the minimum might be larger, who knows?)

    To be honest, this is far too open ended to be able to answer.

    can you suggest where can I find  pcell code of any diode??

    Thanks and Regards

    I did a quick search and couldn't find open source code for this, sorry.

    you may find SKILL code for some pcells here,  <virtuoso_install>/tools/dfII/samples/ROD/rodPcells/components/. A diode pcell can be coded similarly to eb junction of a BJT.
