Resolving MinStep Violation

SwaroopS
SwaroopS over 9 years ago

Hi,


I've completed place and route of a design that I'm working on. And during the DRC checks, I've received a few MinStep and MinArea violations. Attached in the photo below are the Minstep violations. There are 4 Minstep violations. The violations seems to have been caused by a M1-V1 running vertically and a M2-V2 running horizontally in the same location.

How do I solve the MinStep violations?  I've tried drawing a polygon in the M2 layer where the violation occurs in the Top left corner. Is this a good way to go about this?

Thanks!

Swaroop

    you can try swapping in a different via that does not create these notches. you can try the fillNotch command, but I don't know if it works in this situation.
