Custom inductor in Virtuoso

Dear community,

I want to create custom component (inductor) in Virtuoso. I have drawn layout of inductor in Virtuoso, and then imported it to EM simulator (Sonnet) where from EM simulation I got touchstone file and broadband spice model file for inductor. So my question is, is there a way to link touchstone file with layout of inductor so that LVS won’t show short circuit error and QRC extraction will give result from touchstone file? I.e. is there a way create component when you have layout and touchstone file so that component will pass LVS and results of parasitic extraction will be same as in touchstone file?

Kind regards,

This will primarily depend on the LVS tool that you're using and the LVS rules themselves - they might have some means of black boxing the device, or adding a recognition layer.

I'd suggest you contact customer support so that we can work through the details of whatever technology you're using.

Regards,

Andrew.
