DRC clean with encounter, DRC error with calibre

archive
archive over 18 years ago

    Hi,
I get a DRC clean and no DRC violation in my encounter log file after doing globaldetail routing and adding filler.
But as I am merging my design gds with stdcell gds and using calibre for DRC checking I get so many errors!
Could you please help me on the procedure i have to take to have a clean DRC using calibre?
can I load the DRC report of calibre and ask encounter to solve those DRC error?
As i am looking at most DRC error in my design are concern to filler. so basically I have so many empty area between nwells and has not been filled with fillers.

Thanks,

Houman

    Hi Li Siang,

    Thanks for point out. I did a "help well" and "help gap" but could not see related command. But I think I come across this command before in the command guide...

    But I think the issue is that usually layer lower than contact (or M1) are not usually in the LEF. For Apollo the database is like Virtuoso so the P&R view can keep the full GDS. From my memory (that is more than 5 years old..) the gap I need to fill at that time was some funny layer (not nwell , but something else).

    Regards,
    Eng Han
