Refer instances and vias to technology library during importing

MSP032
MSP032 10 months ago

Hi,

My query is regarding importing of layout.

After importing, we see that the imported transistor instances and vias are all referring to the library in which they are imported, instead of referring to the technology library.

Please let me know how we can refer them to the technology library.

Will surely provide more details if my query is unclear.

Thanks,

Mallikarjun.

    Mallikarjun,

    What do you mean by "importing of layout"? Are you importing a stream (GDS) file? If so, this is expected, as stream format doesn't support PCells (although there is some via mapping capability). If not, please explain what you mean by "importing". Without knowing what you are doing, it's a bit hard to give a more precise answer.

    Andrew
