End cap/boundary cell in my pdk from LFoundary

Hello everyone,

I am designing a decoder using custom digital placer integrated with virtuoso. I could not find End cap cell and boundary cells in my pdk. There are few cells which I don't understand but I am not sure what are they actually and I could not find their information in DRM as well. I can see filler cells of different sizes, Decap cells of three different sizes, Antenna cells but I could not locate the EndCap cells and Boundary Cells. What are the common names of these cells? I am using LFoundary 110nm. Please let me know if anything is left which may help you answer the query.

    Is it necessary to use EndCap/Boundary cells? My chip is going to be mixed and I am going to place guard rings.
