Metal Fill in Encounter Digital Implementation

Hello all,

I created a big multiplexer with Cadence Encounter and it has 4 metal layers. And to avoid some MTOP DRC error I filled the Top layer with metal dummies (rectangular dummies in Metal 4 connected to GND or floating).

But when I import tge GDSII in Cadence Virtuoso, all the layers and standard cells are present except the dummies I created in Cadence Encounter. I don't know why the dummies are not present because these dummies are just rectangular shapes in Metal 4.

 

Many thanks, 

Yoann

    Hi Yoann,

    Are the dummy fill layer types in your stream out mapping file from EDI? Likewise, make sure that layer is getting mapped in properly to Virtuoso.
