CTS with MMMC

SINGI

HI

 

I am working with 40nm TSMC library, according to adavanced chip implementation tech., CTS needs the following:

Clock routing with 2X width and 2X spacing.

Include double Via and clock sheilding.

 I cld succussfullly  get 2X spacing, and shielding but have prbs with 2X width and vias.  According to cadence soc encounter manual, I can use NONDEFAULTRULE to  CTS 2 use wide wires and for this I need to put in the lef files, the 2X width. But wen i try to run CTS, i have the following errors and tools crashes.(i use setCTSMode -routeNonDefaultRule widenwires)

please let me know solution.

 Thank you

  • Dear Kari, 

    Post Route design, I have 2X width and shielding. In order to solve the timing issues I tried to add a repeater like

    ecoaddrepeater and the tool crashes. I tried adding first for clock path nd then to signal path but in both cases the tool crashes.any specific reason . or is it a known problem
