Adding Terminal and Pins In Pcell Using Pcell Designer Tool.

Hi Everyone,
I want to add Terminals to my "multi-finger" Pcell created using Pcell Designer Tool, such that it will be Easier for me to highlight them to perform operation such as Adding source/drain/gate routing to the pcell.
Can anyone tell how can i do that?
Also, if anyone has any kind of documentation on Cadence Pcell Designer Tool please Share, It will be Helpful
Thank You,

Hi Akshay,
Attached is an example of a multi-finger MOS transistor which includes creating pins with a suitable pin connectivity model. In general it's easiest to create the pins and terminals as you go along and then copy will generally do the right thing as you construct your multi-finger device (this is easier than creating all the shapes and then trying to retrofit the connectivity).
In the example (which you can load using Tools->Open Pcell Designer, and is set up to work with gpdk045 layers), you'll see the setup connectivity method (one of the tabs) which looks like this:
This is defining a source pin, a drain pin and then for the first gate, it's got pins at the top and bottom which are on the same terminal (in the OA connectivity model, that means these top and bottom pins are weakly connected, which is what you want for a gate pin).
Then within the draw fingers method, the copy command has "must" set which means that it preserves the connectivity on the objects copied (the gate and gate pins in this case are copied) and creates a must-connect relationship between the pins. So that means that you must connect to each gate, and not both the top and bottom because of the week connect:
You can alter this copy behaviour if you want the pins to be strongly connected (e.g. if you know they are joined inside the pcell) or you want a weak connect relationship.
In general you want to have a good understanding of the OA pin connectivity model (multiple shapes on the same pin are strongly connected; multiple pins on the same terminal are weakly connected; must-connects require separate terminals with most of them "physOnly" and a must-join relationship defined between the terminals) but the commands available in PCell Designer make this very easy to implement.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your reply.

I have one more query regarding terminals. When i copy a shape which has terminal on it using "copy" command , the terminal is getting copied. But when i use "array" command, the terminal connectivity is lost in the resulting array. Can you tell me why this is happening and is there any alternative way to retain connectivity?

The array command is not designed to retain connectivity - it's for doing a simple "fill" type operation but driven by the number of rows and columns (for example). It can place mosaics or stepped arrays of shapes.

We decided not to overcomplicate it by adding connectivity support as well, as the copy command (either in a loop, or with the repeat parameter) can be used to achieve this with control of the connectivity.

Regards,

Andrew.
