Errors in pad fillers using AMS 0.35u technology (SOCE)

Hi,

I'm using SOCE for P&R and I keep getting this spacing error with the pad fillers:

Pin of Cell IN0_5 & Blockage of Cell pfill_W_44

Actual:     0.7     Min:     0.8    bbox = (180.000, 1768.250) (180.700, 1772.550)

 I cannot seem to resolve it.  What could be the problem?

     Hi Mooty,

    The first picture looks like nanoRoute is trying to route some nets that are really connected by abutment of the IO cells. You should place a -skip_routing attribute on these nets:

    setAttribute -net net1 -skip_routing true

    The second picture looks like a violation between the route to the IO pin and the blockages around the IO pin. These may or may not be real violations - you'll have to run your signoff DRC to be sure. 

    I'm not sure about the other two.
