Tool to create *.lib and *.db files for designs made in Innovus

sbfisher

Hi all, 

I have made a custom cell in Innovus that I will be instantiating into a bigger block, which I will also be using Innovus to do the Place & Route. 

I understand that I can generate a *.lef file and a *.lib file using Innovus. However, I need to also create a *.db file (these format of files are often used in DC Compiler synthesis tool). 

Is there a way to create the *.db file from Innovus? Or, is there a tool that I can use to create this *.db file? 

Thank you for your time.
