Porting Layout is Virtuoso Layout to Encounter

Hi all,

I am new to this forum. I have recently started integrating my first test chip.

I have following problem:

My analog block is laid out in Virtuoso Layout editor and by digital block in Encounter.

How can I port my layout from Virtuoso Layout editor to Encounter. I am very new to Encounter. Can any one tell me some method by which I can port my design from layout editor to encounter where I can combine the two blocks?

Please provide me your suggestions and inputs.

Regards

Nick

    Hi Gian Nicola

    Suppose your analog design is an L shape and you would like to put the digital portion in the empty portion of the L shape. In layout editor, you can simply create an L shape PR boundary layer using "Create->P&R Objects->PR Boundary" and select "cover" blockages for the metal layers during "Abstract" step. You will then get L shape blockages.


    Best regards
