lef unit confusion

Holdsworth

Hello there, I'm a bit confused with LEF unit: I've a LEF file with DATABASE MICRONS 2000 ; However, the LEF/DEF language reference interprets one LEF distance unit as multiplied when converted into database units. In other words, if for a LAYER M1 WIDTH 0.10 ; , does this mean that the actual width of M1 is (0.1*2000)um ?

    Do you know how to set the LEF UNITS DATABASE MICRONS?  The digital vendor is asking for 2000, but the default in the technology file is creating MICRON UNITS as 100.  I am exporting a flat abstract viewcell with only ports and metal blocking layers using the File, Export, LEF.

     

    Thanks,
